Description
A Child of Science by Gareth Farr tells the story of a groundbreaking medical breakthrough that changed the world. In 1978, three pioneering doctors worked tirelessly to overcome the challenges of infertility, supported by thousands of brave women from across the UK. Their determination ultimately led to the creation of IVF, a procedure that has since enabled over twelve million babies to be born. This play is based on extensive research and interviews with key figures involved in the development of IVF, offering a unique insight into this pivotal moment in medical history. First performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2024, A Child of Science sheds light on the courage and ambition that defined this remarkable era. Gareth Farr's fictionalised account is a powerful tribute to the pioneers who paved the way for modern fertility treatments.
