London stage takes on taboo of stillbirth in play about Ann Lovett tragedy

The tragic death 30 years ago of Irish schoolgirl Ann Lovett is the subject of a play to be staged in London next month.

The theme of Caroline Bowder’s play, Conversations with Mary, is how a stillborn child’s brief existence changes centuries of ignorance and cruelty towards babies who die in their mother’s womb.

Conversations with Mary, will be showing at three London venues in April.
