Summer is over, you’re about to start Year 11, your GCSEs are looming. To make matters worse, there’s a new project this term: you’ve got to look after a baby simulator for one whole week.
Welcome to big school. As friendships are broken, made up, and broken all over again, you have to decide: who do you want to be?
From Jack Godfrey and Martha Geelan, ‘Babies’ is a new(born) musical comedy about growing out of growing up.
