A theatre production which focusses on baby envy will be shown this June in The Source Arts Theatre in Thurles, Tipperary.

The show begins at 8.00pm on Saturday June 14 and tickets cost €16.

Performed by Roseanne Purcell , ‘Baby’ tells the story of Camilla who is 36 and 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.

Written by Lianne O’Hara. Lianne is a participant of Irish Theatre Institute’s Six in the Attic programme.

In 2024 she received the Mairtín Crawford Award for Poetry and a Theatre Bursary from the Arts Council of Ireland.

Lianne teaches creative writing at University College Dublin and is represented by Peter Straus at Rogers, Coleridge & White. Baby won the 2024 ‘Little Gem’ Award.

Other writing is published in Poetry Ireland Review, The Cormorant, gorse, Winter Papers, The Rialto, Arc Poetry Magazine, The London Magazine, Abridged, Banshee, and elsewhere. Fluff had a sell-out run at Dublin Fringe.
