Why is it, whenever I go to a restaurant, I always get the table next to a crying baby? I would never want one of those... or would I?

Ruby tells the story of one woman's journey of emotions after a miscarriage. It explores how she tries to cope with her grief, body issues and anxiety. Part comedy, part tragedy, it examines how she tries to understand the loss, coupled with her continued desire to have a child, all the while surrounded by women who seem to have it all. But do they?

"Jake Lipman's Tongue in Cheek Theatre has been making independent theatre happen for [thirteen] years now, continuing on a mission to feature comic plays, to showcase the work of female playwrights, and of male playwrights who create strong and numerous roles for women, and to provide a bit of contrast in a theatre scene that sometimes feels very heavy on the "heavy" side of things. Brava. So if you're looking for theatre that's funny without being frivolous, and joyous while still being thematically rich and complicated, look no further than TIC."
