Finalist for the Governor General’s Award for Drama. What happens when a professional woman finds out she’s pregnant and delivers a little girl only six months into her pregnancy? The reality of giving birth to a one lb. 15-ounce baby is at the centre of Miracle Mother, a play about premature birth and neo-natal care, but it is also a heartfelt and wickedly funny look at the entire birth experience, especially as reflected in the mother-daughter relationship.
