AFTER BIRTH

THEATRE - 2022

‘after birth’ is a play steeped in emotion and drama that draws on the findings of original research and women's lived experiences of mental illness during pregnancy and after birth to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage discussion about maternal mental health. A collaboration between a theatrical team, led by playwright Zena Forster and producer Emma Dolman, and researchers at the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU) in the Nuffield Department of Population Health (NDPH), the ultimate aim of the play is to improve care and outcomes for affected women, their babies and families.
