2019 Edinburgh Fringe
A Womb Of One's Own
'Grandmamie, if no one touches my boobs before I'm 21 I'm going to explode all over the net curtains.' Babygirl is 18 and has just discovered sex, despite her Catholic upbringing. Just when her university life of drinking, partying and bisexual excitement begins, she discovers she's up the duff. Funny, clever and politically challenging A Womb of One's Own follows Babygirl on her journey of self and sexual discovery, exploring the emotional rollercoaster that is an unwanted pregnancy and asking why it's still such a taboo.

Fringe: 10 shows featuring sex & relationships
There is nothing surer to bring crowds to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe than plays and performances which deal in getting down and dirty.
Lorna Irvine, The List, 27th June 2019Fringe 2019 - A Womb of One's Own
Funny, clever and politically challenging, A Womb of One's Own follows a young woman on her journey of self and sexual discovery, exploring the emotional rollercoaster of an unwanted pregnancy, an abortion and the surrounding taboos. Supported by The Pleasance's Charlie Hartill Theatre Reserve 2019, this darkly comic coming-of-age story tackles a big painful subject with warmth, heart and humour.
