Open Slot: Baby Blues


OPEN SLOT: Lily Kuenzler's 'Baby Blues'- Charity Outreach

This semesters Open Slot production is 'Baby Blues', an original play by our very own Lily Kuenzler (for those who don't know, Open Slot is a show STAG puts on every semester, it runs for two nights and gives the lovely talented writers/directors of STAG an opportunity to propose an original piece of writing or a pre-existing play, with a month to prepare the show).

The play is a semi-absurdist take on a young mother's struggles in the isolating months of giving birth. The issue of Post-Natal Depression is dealt with throughout, and Lily (writer and director) has made connections with charities for women, men and families affected by the illness, both in London (where the play was first performed this Summer) and now in Glasgow.

The charity is called Bluebell PND Service, a Glagsow-operated charity. At the show, which is on from 8th-9th of November in QUDOS in Queen Margaret Union, there will be collection boxes for any loose change you can spare to help Glasgow families affected by Post-Natal Depression, so make sure you bring any spare coins when you come to see the play!

Make sure you don't miss Baby Blues by marking yourself as Going on the event here, and buy your tickets to ensure you have a seat here! It's bound to be an incredible show, so be sure you don't miss out.
