The Gin Baby – Location, Tickets, Reviews
The Gin Baby is the story of a young, attractive woman’s mental breakdown, fueled by alcohol, and triggered by an unsuccessful acting audition. As is often the case, this mental breakdown includes lots of yelling, throwing of things, sexual misadventures, confrontations with past lovers, and ultimately concludes with an extended involuntary stay at a mental hospital.
Maxamoo
The thing about mental breakdowns is that they are unpleasant and a person having one is challenging company. This is true whether the person is a friend, family member, complete stranger on the subway, or character on stage. It’s a compliment to the production to say the breakdown witnessed here is no less unpleasant.
Anyone with triggering concerns related to sexual assault, suicide, or self-harming should exercise caution when attending this production.
