Theatre Re presents BIRTH

‘Ravishingly beautiful, spellbinding piece of work’ – ★★★★★ The Arts Desk

After the success of its critically acclaimed international hit The Nature of Forgetting, Theatre Re returns with ‘a rich tapestry of ongoing humanity’ (The Scotsman) about motherhood, life and love.

Emily is eight months pregnant when she reads her grandmother’s journal. As she delves into the depths of her family history, its pages unveil a legacy of courage, unspoken tragedies and unconditional love.

As one of the UK’s leading visual theatre companies, Theatre Re combines original live music with striking visual theatre to create world class, deeply moving, non-verbal productions about universal human challenges and the fragility of life.
