They have a beautiful home and a glamorous life. In fact, everything they could wish for. Except the one thing they want most of all. A baby.
When a wealthy couple decide to adopt, they know only how much they long for a child. But the baby's troubled mother comes to haunt them and their lives become entangled in a way no-one could have imagined...
Mine is written and directed by Joint Artistic Director of Shared Experience, Polly Teale. Celebrated for her potent visual and imaginative style, she won the 2003 Evening Standard Award for Best Director for her own play After Mrs Rochester which also won the Time Out Award for Best West End Production.

'i thouroughly enjoysed the effects of mine. it had a full impact on my body and soul and i felt myself shaking throughout the play with joy and hope. powerful actors and i reallly connected with the young girls mother as i have a small child myself that was taken away and i feel this really bought back my emotions- a moving and touching play for me, enjoy. its a life lesson to be learnt. just go and see it. you wont regret it'
