A poignant drama about attitudes to teenage pregnancy in 60s Britain. Be My Baby follows the fortunes of Mary Adams; aged 19; unmarried and seven months pregnant. Forcibly sent to a Mother and Baby Home in the north of England by a mother intent on keeping up appearances; Mary - along with the other girls in the home - has to cope with both the shame and the dawning realisation that she will have to give the baby up for adoption whether she likes it or not. Despite this - and an overbearing matron - the girls youthful effervescence keeps breaking through as they sing along to the girl-group songs of the period. Be My Baby was first performed at the Pleasance Theatre; London; in November 1998.This edition includes new scenes added for several successful revivals of the play. you dont have to be young; female or unmarried to find it immensely touching The Times

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. REASONABLY SATISFIED! Puzzled by lack of quality in printing and binding.By Maurice J. Dufilho IIIA wonderful poem and historical artifact; it arrived in two copies;because I ignorantly hit the "BUY IT AGAIN" button. I was confused because of numerous postponements in shipping. I suspect this is a special printing and binding job ordered or done by . The only publication data is on the last page just inside the cover. CPSIA info @ www.ICGtesting.com. Printed in USA. Our most famous Librarian of Congress should have his works that are distributed in ihe USA printed in the USA.
