A vibrant community of a thousand individuals comes together, forging connections, forming friendships, and embarking on the journey of parenthood. Yet, beneath the surface of their diverse lives, a profound bond unites them all: the same father.
Maud Dromgoole's captivating play, Mary's Babies, draws inspiration from the remarkable tale of Mary Barton and her husband, Bertold Wiesner.
