A decade of being single.
​Countless IVF attempts...
And now 8 months pregnant.
​40 year old Kristy thinks she's made the biggest mistake of her life.

“Don’t say (bubba)” was written as part of the 2020 Playwrights Bake Off, presented by FUSE Darebin. Thanks to Mark Pritchard and Ra Chapman for facilitating such an extraordinary event.

A Playwright’s Bake Off is a two-day rapid-fire playwriting challenge, based on the methodologies of US playwright Paula Vogel.  The stimulus text for this particular challenge was Ray Lawler’s “ Summer of the Seventeenth Doll.”  Playwrights were also provided with a list of 26 ‘ingredients’ which were pulled from the source play and were to be included in the script.

This play is currently in development.
