preggers

Preggers.

 

​Amy’s making a play. It’s an experiment. It’s about Motherhood.

​

 

Preggers was a solo show I toured in 2016. The process tracked my personal journey towards motherhood and those of the three generations of women in my family. From my teenage days through to exploring sperm donors and co-parenting, falling in love, trying to conceive and the heartbreak of miscarriage. 

​

 

It’s about the before, the now, and the ‘what might be’.

​

Motherhood – what does it really mean for women now and for women of previous generations? Women like Amy’s mum, whose unconventional approach to family life was captured by a 1979 BBC documentary team. And Amy’s nan, who had her child just before the birth of the NHS. Amy explores the highs and lows, the heart swells and heartbreaks on the journey to create a new life. Playful, touching and provocative preggers is a show about family – being in one and starting one of your own.
