Set in a Mother and Baby Home in the North of England in 1964, the play follows the fortunes of Mary Adams, aged 19, unmarried and seven months pregnant. Forcibly sent there by a mother intent on keeping up appearances, Mary, along with the other girls in the home, has to cope both with the shame and with the dawning realisation that she will have to give up the baby for adoption whether she likes it or not.

Despite this, and at times an overbearing matron, the girls’ youthful effervescence will keep breaking through, as they sing along to the girl-group songs of the period.

Featured songs: Be My Baby by The Ronettes; Chapel of Love by The Dixie Cups; Past, Present and Future by the Shangri-La’s and So Young by The Ronettes.
