By Vaness Bates

How much will you sacrifice to get what you want?

Meg and Tim want to have a baby. So do Jen and Bill.

They’ve given up sushi, alcohol, soft cheese and wine. They’re good people, they’ll be good parents, right? And they are all such good friends.

They deserve this, Right?

A black comedy about infertility and infidelity and how it feels when you seem to be failing the human race.

“Vanessa Bates’ play opens up a dialogue on very sensitive issues. She has the ability to address the problems that infertility can cause in relationships with humour, sensitivity and candour.” — Stage Whispers
