Written by Lisa Ryder
Based on characters created by Selina Martin & Lisa Ryder Directed by Monica Dottor
Produced by Bald Ego Theatre in association with Nightwood Theatre
Alice’s life is perfect. She has a wonderful husband and a gorgeous new baby. The only thing is: her husband has left on a work trip and the baby is colicky. Alice cannot sleep. Into her chaotic world arrive two fantastical creatures who take an unnatural interest in her child. In a play described as Rosemary’s Baby meets Fight Club, playwright Lisa Ryder explores the taboo subject of postpartum depression and the extreme places the mind can go. A Blow in the Face is a searing and irreverent take on a subject to which every parent will relate. “It’s funny, it’s incisive, it’s smart as hell. It’s also utterly original and thoroughly theatrical."- Michael Healey, acclaimed Canadian playwright
