'Baby' is a dark comedy about baby envy and unsolicited advice from strangers

One of the most highly anticipated events at The Source Arts Centre, Thurles of their summer schedule is coming Saturday June 14.

'Baby' is a dark comedy about baby envy and unsolicited advice from strangers.

Camilla is 36 and she wants a baby.

With dark humour and honest vulnerability, 'Baby' delves into baby envy and pretend pregnancies, while journeying into a landscape of fertility clinics and assisted human reproduction.

'Baby' is full of unsolicited advice from strangers. 'Baby' is seeing a pram in the Lidl middle aisle and having an unexpected cry into a discounted microfibre cloth. 'Baby' is all your thirty-something year old friends having babies but none of them are yours.
