Strangers, Babies

One woman, five men. One by one we see into each of her relationships, apparently existing in separate worlds. There's Dan, the ever-patient husband; Duncan, the dying and irascible father; Roy, the Internet date; Denis, the estranged brother; and Abel, the Child Protection Officer. May is the link between these lives. But they're being undermined as a moment in her life is haunting them all. Sometimes chilling, frequently absurd, Strangers, Babies is the story of one woman's desperate attempts at a future that's worth living. Linda McLean's Strangers, Babies was premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.
