“’Doomsday Baby’ has the potential to be a modern day Greek tragedy.”
- The Young(ish) Perspective
A mother. A son. A bunker.
When a civilisation ending climate disaster strikes, Eve and her teenage son, Adam, are forced to rebuild their lives underground. However, when new problems emerge, mother and son must decide whether it’s better to live with the demon they know, or face the unknown dangers above.
This thrilling and dark exploration of the #boymom trend, delves into the depths of the complex mother-son bond and challenges the very concept of safety. An intense, thought-provoking play about survival, sacrifice, and the human instinct to protect what we love.
