Baby Brain

Back to What's On

Baby Brain

A new play about motherhood, postpartum psychosis and stand-up comedy! A new mother, Cass, tackles her mental health crisis, with dark humour, bright wit, brutal honesty and dreams of becoming a comic. A “slightly true story", starring BAFTA winner Kimberley Nixon (Channel 4's Fresh Meat).

'Five stars! A brave, blisteringly honest piece of theatre that leaves you laughing, devastated and profoundly changed' TheEditWales.com
'It touched our heartstrings' Katy Thomas, Mothers Matter charity
'Genuinely funny throughout' Lee Walters, Ffilm Cymru Wales
'A brilliant piece of writing and performance. A really smart piece of work' Dan Porter, Porter's Theatre
