Description

Set in 2001, Ten Tiny Fingers, Nine Tiny Toes is a thought-provoking play that explores the complexities of class and identity. In this world, the class system is strictly numbered from one to five, with only those of the highest classes allowed to breed.

The story revolves around two babies born under different circumstances: a perfect but illegal 'class five' baby, and an imperfect 'government' baby bought by a 'class three' mother. The fate of these children serves as a commentary on the societal norms that govern their lives.

With its biting satire and dark humour, Ten Tiny Fingers, Nine Tiny Toes is a compelling exploration of what it means to be human in a world where class and conformity are paramount.
