About the show
Be My Baby is a drama performed by Parker & Snell Youth Company at Space 3 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. 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. Amanda Whittington's powerful drama explores love, shame and resilience in a world ruled by judgement and silence, bringing to life a hidden chapter of recent history with honesty, humanity and hope.
