Party Baggage

By Shaun Nolan

“How do you deal with knowing you’ll never get something you desperately want?”

Nat and Fin need your help. Since Nat got pregnant by Fin’s (kind of) ex-boyfriend, things just haven’t been the same. In their personal lives and in their friendship, there are a whole host of issues and they simply must tell you all about them. You’re a theatre audience! They know you can’t talk back to them! But maybe you could just… listen?

In Shaun Nolan's poignant new tragicomedy, Nat and Fin’s lives unravel as they navigate the complexities of friendship, love, and unexpected twists of fate. Fin does care – he promises! – and he’s going to show Nat that he does by planning her a baby shower. But while he deals with his feelings of jealousy, and she fears how motherhood will suit her, the two start to lose sight of what they have right in front of them.

Through laughter, tears, and moments of reflection, we’ll contemplate the bonds that hold us together and the challenges that test us.
