What happens when the "what if" becomes reality? In Hypothetical Baby, award-winning playwright and performer Rachel Cairns pulls back the curtain on the unspoken truths of abortion. Raw, darkly funny, and deeply personal, this fearless solo play goes beyond the question of “will she or won’t she?”—diving headfirst into the messy, complex, and often absurd journey of reproductive choice. From a dismissive doctor’s office to a relentless spiral of Google searches, Rachel navigates judgment, uncertainty, and the unexpected revelations that come with making one of life’s most personal decisions.
A Globe and Mail Critic’s Pick, Hypothetical Baby challenges taboos with sharp wit and unflinching honesty.
