Baby’s Blues
A frank and sympathetic look at one mother’s descent into serious psychosis brought on by the birth of her first child
“Tammy Ryan’s fiercely emotional and darkly disquieting play takes a frank and sympathetic look at one mother’s descent into serious psychosis brought on by the birth of her first child. Ryan works overtime to keep the story real yet understandable. It’s a tensely orchestrated hundred-minute journey unrelieved by intermission, yet there are moments of humor and irony.” - Alice Carter, Tribune Review
“BABY’S BLUES makes a strong impact through powerful dialogue...It takes an emotional dilemma and winds it tighter and tighter to a wrenching peak, leaving us vibrating with the final impact...BABY’S BLUES has undoubted immediacy.” - Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
