Overview
Expecting is a new play by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola, receiving its world premiere at Riverside Studios in London under the direction of Andy Sandberg. It is a play about whether to start a family.
Zoey and Ethan are trying to decide whether to have a baby, while the rest of their lives feel largely settled. Zoey's younger sister Trish already has two children to look after, or three if her new boyfriend Matt is counted. The story follows both couples as the demands of adult life pile up around them.
Written by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola, the play looks at why couples are postponing parenthood or questioning it altogether, set against a backdrop of falling birthrates. Career ambitions, weekend brunch plans and the weight of legacy and expectations all feed into the discussion, as the two couples reconsider what they truly want. The production is directed by Andy Sandberg.
This world premiere forms part of the mainstage programme at Riverside Studios, a venue that hosts shows in London, and runs for a limited run.
