A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dramatic Comedy / 3w, 1m
Joe Penhall
The birth of their daughter should be one of the happiest days of Ed and Lisa's life. An NHS maternity ward and their somewhat unusual circumstances make for an unsettling and satisfyingly comic sequence of events that tests their relationship to the core, and raises intrinsic questions about the nature of birth and renewal, fear and isolation.
“Penhall allows us to put the pieces together as we please. Ninety minutes of entertainment or deceptive think-piece, it’s still a healthy, bouncing bundle.” – Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times
“This often hilarious and provocative play is wonderfully fertile, so to speak ... It’s a tribute to Penhall that you sit there wondering why no one has thought of putting it centre stage … Birthday is full of joys” – Paul Taylor, Independent
