Smoking Reduces Fertility

Laura has a secret which has changed everything. 

It has caused her to question her perfectly put together life and to leave her daughter with the nanny.

Smoking Reduces Fertility is a sharp portrayal of motherhood and a foreboding glimpse into the minds of two women on the edge

Smoking Reduces Fertility was written by Ella Thompson. It was performed by Noma Dumezweni and Jessica Barden. It was Directed by Grace Vaughan and sound designed by Piers Sherwood-Roberts.

Bitter Pill are committed to producing new writing until theatres in the UK reopen. Through The Painkiller Project, we’re open for submissions once a month and are producing two plays from each submission window.

• If you enjoy the play you’re about to hear and you’d like to support the continuation of the project, you can make a one-off donation through PayPal.me - https://www.paypal.me/bitterpilltheatre
• Or, you can become a patron to the project through Patreon. This allows you to make a donation that would be repeated each time a new winning play is released, fortnightly - http://patreon.com/bitterpilltheatre

It would mean the world to us and allow us to make more work.
