BABY ON BOARD
Music by Denis King - Book & Lyrics by Mary Stewart-David
A year in the life of Mel and Hillary Bright-Brown as observed and interpreted by their children: Toby is ten months old going on forty-five. He can’t talk yet, but he’s got a lot to say--about he state of his parents’ marriage, and his relationship with a woman three times his age, his sister India. Of course, no one can hear what Toby really thinks, except us. A musical view of parenthood, dedicated to anyone who has ever struggled to bring up a child, has resolutely avoided having a child, was once a child, or still is a child.
