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. Exploring sisterhood, selfishness, and surrogacy, BAIRNS is part stand-up, part theatre, and 'a wickedly funny piece that speaks to the heart' (AYoungishPerspective.co.uk). Written and performed by Annie Davison – 'emerging talent' (Arifa Akbar, Guardian) and 'one to watch' (BritishTheatreGuide.info) – BAIRNS is a tender, stretch-marked, and laugh-out-loud funny dramedy that asks how far you'd go for your sibling.
