A Nightwood Theatre production in association with The Howland Company
Written by Rachel Cairns Directed by Courtney Ch’ng Lancaster
In Hypothetical Baby, Rachel Cairns mixes data and drama to present an autobiographical work that dares to publicly talk about abortion the way we do privately — with neurotic vulnerability, unflinching honesty, and frank irreverence. This touching and hilarious one-person show grapples with the personal and societal factors that shape our reproductive lives and the intricate relationship between choice, change, and loss. Cairns, named “one of the country’s most original actors” by The Globe & Mail and recipient of My Entertainment World’s Performer of the Year Award, offers up a searingly honest, laugh-out-loud, and breathtakingly nuanced performance on the timely topic of the right to abortion.

Feature: Ilana Lucas Picks the Top Toronto Theatre 2025
January 05, 2026 In a world where AI increasingly tries to consume and simulate real human experiences, theatre sometimes feels like one of the last gasps of being in a room together.
