Baby Blues by Forthright Theatre (Jestaminute)


Jestaminute Community Theatre cic, under the banner of Forthright Theatre, present ‘Baby Blues’  -what happens when a precious gift becomes a living nightmare? Inspired by true stories, told with humour and honesty ‘Forthright’ use movement and spoken word, integrated with blues music, to explore how actions can reveal thoughts we would rather keep hidden. This ‘work-in-progress’ funded by Arts Council England, Worcestershire County Council and others   takes the audience on a strange, funny and emotionally powerful journey of two couples embroiled in the world of postnatal depression. Baby Blues  has been written by Andy Higgitt in collaboration with movement director Naomi Said.

 

‘Baby Blues’  is the second in their trilogy of work on mental health,  the first being ‘The Gary & Robert Blues’  which  was a one man show looking at men’s mental health (“Recommended show” Brighton Fringe, “wonderful tear-jerking & funny show”).
