They're in love. They're going to have a baby. They're going to be happy. They're going to be happy, aren't they? As a young woman and her older partner prepare for the birth of their child, they know everything will change. They're looking forward to it. The late nights, the bottle-feeds, the diaper changes. All of it. But they have no idea how unrecognisable they will become.

BABY BABY BABY is an intimate portrait of love and loss; protection and control. It shows the desperate, terrifying ways that people try to hold onto the things they can't bear to lose.

BABY BABY BABY is directed by Mya Onwugbonu, a multi-disciplinary and multi-award winning creative. With published credits as a writer and poet, she ventured into writing and directing her debut spoken word theatre production, Hear Me Now. With sold-out shows at Southwark Playhouse (Nov 2022) and VAULT Festival (Feb 2023), where she went on to win 'Show of the Week' at VAULT Festival 2023 and 'Best Director' in the Black British Theatre Awards 2023. Mya has spent the last few years working in the community for the arts, cultivating relationships with Underexposed Arts, Black Cultural Archives and Poetic Unity.
