Untitled Baby Play

n this ode to female friendship by Nina Braddock, six women find themselves trapped on an email chain as they plan a friend’s baby shower. What starts out as a comedy of manners for the digital age deepens as these women— a doctor, freelance journalist, consultant, teacher, actress and software engineer—contend with cyber miscommunications and email thread snubs, forcing them to question their own convictions, fears and existential angst surrounding the baby issue. When the shower finally comes to pass, neuroses reach full throttle. A meditation on private identity, the crafting of persona, and the agony of life choices.
