Timed to coincide with the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week and Black History Month, Ellipsis sheds light on this often-silent topic, with a particular focus on the unique experiences of Black women. The production opens the door to conversations about the emotional landscape of child loss, while also addressing the health disparities Black women face in maternity care.

The Stage hailed Ellipsis as “considered, carefully navigating the emotional shifts from elation to gut-wrenching pain” ★★★★, and we are confident you will find it a moving and thought-provoking experience.

‘Life in me, Living in me…’

Ellipsis returns to the stage following rave reviews from audiences and critics alike.

This powerful production delves into the deeply sensitive subject of child loss and its profound impact on women, offering a poignant exploration that has resonated deeply with those who have experienced similar pain.

The play boldly addresses a topic often shrouded in silence, inviting audiences to engage in a conversation that is as necessary as it is challenging. Ellipsis takes viewers on an emotional journey that opens the door to understanding and empathy, making space for a dialogue that many have found healing.

The show is not just a performance; it’s a vulnerable, heartwarming, and truthful retelling of what it means to cope with the loss of a child—a shared experience by 1 in 4 women, it should not be hidden in the shadows, but is one that needs to be brought into the light.

The production acknowledges that it may be triggering for some, but also hopes, it might provide others the courage to speak about their own experiences more openly, because not every experience is the same…
