About the show

Set in 1964, four teenage girls are sent to a church-run mother and baby home, hidden away by a society that refuses to acknowledge them. As they wait for their babies to be adopted, unexpected friendships form and courage quietly emerges. Warm, witty and ultimately heartbreaking, Amanda Whittington’s powerful drama explores love, shame and resilience in a world ruled by judgement and silence. Performed by the Parker & Snell Youth Company, this moving production brings to life a hidden chapter of recent history with honesty, humanity and hope.
