Lottie's just made the mother of all promises and needs to grow up: fast. She's twenty-something, she's amounted to nothing, and having a 'belly buddy' is sort of ruining her life.

BAIRNS is a funny piece of new writing that follows Lottie as her chaotic life takes a sharp turn when she agrees to be a surrogate for her sister, Freya. But when Lottie starts to form a bond with the cargo she’s carrying, the lines between selflessness and selfishness blur - and under UK law, the baby is legally hers until the parental order is signed post-partum.

This "deliciously cutting" and "consistently laugh-out-loud' funny (British Theatre Guide) solo show is written and performed by Annie Davison. BAIRNS is a tender, stretch-marked, and "wickedly funny piece that speaks to the heart – no matter if you are a woman in her twenties, if you have a sister, if you have a baby or if you don’t." (A Youngish Perspective).
