About the Production

Following the Off West End Award-winning On Me, Caroline Lamb's new play Make It follows Gina, a fiercely talented sculptor whose long-awaited big break arrives just as she discovers she's unexpectedly pregnant. With no room for deferral and a crumbling support system, Gina must choose between career and motherhood.

Make It is an intimate, politically engaged new play exploring ambition, bodily autonomy, class, and the realities of working in the arts today.
