Stories

How do you have a baby when you’re thirty-nine and single?

You decide. But what happens next?

The story, like a child, has a life of its own. The story becomes stories…

A funny and touching play about the fertilisation of an idea, Nina Raine’s Stories premiered at the National Theatre, London, in October 2018.

Stories was a finalist for the 2019 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
