Theatre for Parents...Baby Talk.

[Roisinrae]

Hello,

I'm a mum who has written a play about my experience of being pregnant, going to pre-natal classes, giving birth and bringing up a baby and toddler.

My show, BABY TALK is on At the Etcetera Theatre in Camden (above the Oxford Arms on Camden high street) It's on at 7:30 tues-Sat and 6:30 Sundays.
This Wednesday 7th November at 7:30 we are having a BRING YOUR BABY TO THE THEATRE performance so that parents with young babies or no babysitter can still see the show...

The show is both comic,and touching, It has a cast of eleven performers and several puppets who play the babies and toddlers...

come and see it! get concession price tickets by quoting...'Parent offer' when you book tickets

extract from a review below...please come along and support my attempt to get our experiences of having a baby onto the stage!!!


...the snappy script and convincing performances are just one element of this successful combo: We mustn't forget the puppets portraying the toddlers and babies nor the fantastic, show winning, use of silhouettes for the womb scenes that made the simple, minimal props very effective, and highlighted the impassioned teamwork that this theatre company excel at.

The story is not shy to explore the dark side to motherhood either. Although fundamentally observational and comedy driven, we are also invited to observe the hormonal and life changing infliction of post-natal depression. But stop! Before you go running to the hills to avoid this wrist-slashing experience being thrust upon you, you should take heart that we actually see something rather uplifting. We see a rejected and dejected character embraced by the very populace that cast her aside: Demonstrating that whilst we are like to think we're different and unique and better than each other, we are in fact one of the same. And that is human. And there's nothing more human than having a baby.
