The UK is experiencing a fertility crisis. IVF can only be awarded to the highest bidder and most face a childless future. Enter ‘Parent Trap’, a game-show where two contestants vie for the ultimate prize: a baby.
Philippa and Amiyah go head to head in a series of public facing trials to determine who is ‘made to be a mum’. This razor-sharp, tragicomedy explores motherhood at the apex of crisis, the impact of reality tv on the individual and asks how we can ever determine who earns the right to parenthood.
