The lights come up to reveal the exciting news that Lena and Joey are planning to have a baby through Ollie, their friend and sperm donor. Boxes litter the stage, their contents revealing the joys of prospective parenthood, the strain it takes on relationships and every emotion it throws up as we navigate this rollercoaster ride exploring queer family-making.

A heartfelt yet heart-wrenching production, Baby In The Mirror explores themes of chosen family, friendship, and letting go of unresolved trauma and the past, hinting at a leap of faith into the future. Second Adolescence’s debut play offers a raw yet compassionate story. At its core, it explores the worry of not having kids while simultaneously being terrified of having them. When is the right time to become a parent? Does such a time even exist? This is a show that’s unflinching in its approach and courageous in its delivery.

Baby In The Mirror, Summerhall, until Monday 25 August, 3.15pm.
