Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie has been cast in Baby, a new play by Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti that will have its world premiere at Brixton House this October.
Directed by Milli Bhatia, the play is a coproduction between Clean Break and Brixton House.
‘They name me Baby. Means you’ll never seem old, even when you are. You’ll always bring hope, even when there is none. And you can always pretend you’re wanted, even when you’re not… ‘
Baby’s bright and beautiful. Baby’s trouble. Baby can do things nobody else can and why not? Britain’s got talent, hasn’t it?
Baby’s had it tough and she wants to keep Bliss. That’s all she wants. But something terrible stands in her way. Now Baby has to solve a problem….and you’re part of her solution. Because you’re proper people. You must be, to be reading this. Plus, there’s nobody else she can ask…
Baby is a provocative play about one woman’s desire to survive even though she hasn’t got a chance in hell! Baby’s coming…
Baby’s creative team includes set and costume designer Khadija Raza, lighting designer Bethany Gupwell, sound designer Elena Peña, casting director Nadine Rennie, assistant director River, assistant stage manager Hester Blindell and design associate and costume supervisor Maariyah Sharjil.
Baby runs at Brixton House from October 8-31, 2026. Tickets here.
