A reconciliation between a mother and the daughter she gave away at birth. Anna defines herself through her political conscience and she believes she has come to terms with her history until a young woman arrives at her door. {{PlayboxLogo}}
"This is a beautifully crafted play that works both on a personal and a political level, whilst never falling into preachiness. This is not just the story of two women but of two generations of women, one that constrained by society's expectations of a woman's role became politically active in the 1960s, the other who believes she is free to be whatever she wants and cannot understand how a mother could give up her child."
BRYCE HALLETT, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 11 MARCH 2003
"Taut and poetic, Love Child is a combative chamber piece exploring the delicacy and demands of human relationships and the generational divide."
