Persephone Productions presents Be My Baby Oct. 29 - Nov. 14

Set in a small industrial town in 1964, Be My Baby follows 19-year-old Mary Adams, who is seven months pregnant and has been sent to a mother and baby home. Mary and her fellow inmates have to cope with the shame of their pregnancy and the dawning realisation that they must give up their baby for adoption. Despite the daily battles with a no-nonsense Matron in the rigid routine of the Anglican home, the girl's effervescence shines through as they find comfort in each other's friendship, sharing youthful fantasies of love and marriage. They take courage and solace from the 60s pop music that captures the passionate innocence of the play's characters, providing a bittersweet sound track to a deeply moving story.
