Description Meg Rowbotham's three week old baby is missing, supposedly lost at the supermarket - though the police suspect foul play. But what is the motive? Motherhood?

Through the re-enactment of the birth of Meg's baby, the play challenges the myth that all women are born to be perfect mothers, and in so doing exposes the frustrations, depression and sense of failure that can result from the pressures of motherhood.
