“BABY'S
BLUES makes a strong impact through powerful dialogue.... It takes an emotional
dilemma and winds it tighter and tighter and tighter to a wrenching peak,
leaving us vibrating with the final impact.... BABY'S BLUES has undoubted
immediacy.”
Christopher Rawson,

“Tammy
Ryan's fiercely emotional and darkly disquieting play takes a frank and
sympathetic look at one mother's descent into serious psychosis brought on by
the birth of her first child. Ryan works overtime to keep the story real yet
understandable. It's a tensely orchestrated hundred minute journey unrelieved by
intermission, yet there are moments of humor and irony.”
