Product Description
This play follows the fortunes of Mary Adams, aged 19, unmarried and seven months pregnant in a 1964 Mother and Baby Home in North England. Forcibly sent there by a mother intent on keeping up appearances, Mary has to cope with both the shame and with the dawning realization that she will have to give the baby up for adoption.
Customer Reviews
This is a short British play about the Matron and some of the unwed pregnant girls in a "mother and baby home" in England in the 1950s. It is somewhat predictable, but all of the players are realistic for the times. The girls bond quickly, singing along to records sung by the Ronettes and the Shangri-Las, dreaming the dreams we all dreamed in those days, which are probably pretty much the same for all girls everywhere. I don't know how I found this little play, but the wonderfully sweet photo on the cover was certainly a selling point. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this short play, and would like to see it performed some day.
