Three Women
Jermyn Street Theatre
7 January - 7 February

The first voice is a woman who gives birth and takes her baby home, the second is a secretary who has a miscarriage which is not her first, and the third is a student who gives birth after an unwanted pregnancy and has to give her baby up for adoption.

Into the Woods
Upstairs at the Gatehouse
20 December - 1 February
