Baby Brain is a darkly comic one-woman show about a new mother, Cass, in the grip of postpartum psychosis. Stand-up routines, voice notes and a fourth-wall-breaking format pull audiences inside Cass's head as she fights to tell what is real from what is not. The 55-minute show was co-written by Welsh actress Kimberley Nixon with writer-directors Tim Clague and Danny Stack of Nelson Nutmeg Pictures. The show is endorsed by Action on Postpartum Psychosis, the UK's leading charity for women and families affected by the condition.
