BAIRNS
Lottie’s just made the mother of all promises and needs to grow up. Fast. She’s twenty-something, she’s amounted to nothing, and having a “belly buddy” is sort of ruining her life.
Exploring sisterhood, selfishness, and surrogacy, BAIRNS is a ‘wickedly funny piece that speaks to the heart‘ (A Youngish Perspective). It’s funny. It’s unapologetic. It’s ‘deliciously cutting‘ (British Theatre Guide).
Written and performed by ‘rising star‘ Annie Davison (The Scotsman), BAIRNS is a tender, stretch-marked and laugh-out-loud funny show that asks how far you’d go for your sibling.
