Description

A poignant drama about teenage pregnancy in 1960s Britain, Be My Baby tells the story of Mary Adams, a 19-year-old girl forced into a Mother-and-Baby Home after being seven months pregnant. The play explores the shame and hardship she faces, as well as the resilience of the young women living there, who find solace in singing along to popular girl-group songs of the time. Set against the backdrop of a bygone era, Be My Baby is a heart-wrenching portrayal of the challenges faced by young women in a difficult situation. The play has undergone several successful revivals, with new scenes added to the edition available here. This new edition includes additional scenes, bringing the story up to date and offering a fresh perspective on a powerful and thought-provoking play.
