Be My Baby by Amanda Whittington
A poignant drama about attitudes to teenage pregnancy in 1960s Britain.'Poignant, powerful and still pertinent.. Whittington's play about yesterday sings out to today'
* Observer *'You don't have to be young, female or unmarried to find it immensely touching'
* The Times *'Whittington cleverly coats the bitter pill of her characters' experience with the sugared naivety of popular girl-group routines'
* Guardian *
