Their marriage is happy and balanced, their careers in bloom. They are successful, confident, fulfilled - or so it appears. But unlike others who have effortlessly brought children into the world, they have not. Jeannie’s 40th birthday is a night planned for celebration, but events lead them to an abyss which threatens to engulf them and all they have built together. Family and friends weigh in with well-meant but not always well worded advice. But what do you say when no one knows why you can’t do what everyone else can? And when it’s too hard to talk about it at all? And how do you prevent two people mired in shame and panic pushing you away?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"TitleScene\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eOne in six couples struggle with fertility. And yet the subject remains taboo. Award winning Australian play Water Child, with both humour and pathos, offers a rare glimpse the myriad of difficulties faced by so many – and talked about by so few. A darkly comic series of events involving a series of clients, Allie’s daughter Tess and Gwen’s aunt Rowena take them on a rollercoaster ride from hope to desperation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"TitleScene\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;\"\u003eAlong the way, all four characters are forced to face their own demons. Just as the business seems doomed, they discover that the concept is not as mad as it sounds, and that each of them have been helped by it in unexpected ways. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emma Wood","offers":[{"title":"Perusal Script","offer_id":57019717091714,"sku":"PL-1084","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7003\/0466\/files\/Cleanportrait.jpg?v=1793909023","url":"https:\/\/www.stagescripts.com\/products\/water-child","provider":"Stagescripts Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
