ABOUT

BABY
​​By Lianne O'Hara
​
Camilla is 36 and she wants a baby.
With dark humour and honest vulnerability, BABY delves into baby envy and pretend pregnancies, while journeying into a landscape of fertility clinics and assisted human reproduction.
BABY is full of unsolicited advice from strangers. BABY is seeing a pram in the Lidl middle aisle and having an unexpected cry into a discounted microfibre cloth. BABY is all your thirty-something year old friends having babies but none of them are yours.
