Anna Morris: Kid-Life Crisis

Available for 45 days

Anna Morris hit 40, was single, childless and living back with her parents. Success! She hit a kid-life crisis – like a mid-life crisis but with the added pressure of diminishing fertility. In this half-hour stand-up show, recorded in front of a remote audience, she looks at all the different ways in which women deal with ageing, dating and being childless – or child free. There's a difference in approach evident in just those two ways of describing women who don't have kids. From an 'incompetent cervix' diagnosis to proud but patronising new mothers, Anna recounts her journey through the travails of a woman without children. Written and performed by Anna Morris. With: Jess Robinson Sam Underwood Producer: Alison Vernon-Smith A Pier production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2021.
