Make It

Following the OFFIE-commended On Me, writer Caroline Lamb returns with Make It - a sharp, intimate new play exploring ambition, bodily autonomy and the impossible choices placed on women at the point of success.

Make It follows Gina, a fiercely talented sculptor whose long-awaited big break finally arrives - just as she discovers she’s unexpectedly pregnant. With no room for deferral and a crumbling support system, Gina is forced to confront a brutal question: can she have both a career and a child, or must she choose?

Set against the pressures of the contemporary arts industry, Make It interrogates who is allowed to succeed, at what cost, and what happens when life refuses to wait for the “right moment”.

Produced by Dangerous To Know, a theatre company rooted in the North of England, Make It continues the company’s commitment to staging urgent, politically resonant stories that amplify voices too often unheard. Dangerous To Know’s work dissects long-accepted attitudes to expose and challenge modern myths surrounding work, worth and womanhood.
