Exploring the complexities of parenting across time, the narrative intertwines a Victorian birth with a 1998 baby theft. The story contrasts the sentimental values of a forgotten novel with contemporary issues like diverse sexualities and biological engineering. Through the lens of a stolen child and the historical context of wet nurses, Mark Ravenhill's play delves into the evolving definitions of family and identity, blending humor and social commentary in a unique theatrical experience.
