Talking Shadows
In post-war England: shame, secrecy and societal pressure forced unmarried mothers to part with their children, through the institutionalised and systemic coercion that is still awaiting an official apology. Between the Adoption Acts of 1949 and 1976, thousands of babies were taken from their families in a scandal which continues to ripple through the lives of those affected. Talking Shadows has a passion for telling lost female stories in shows such as 1966 ***** (CounterCulture), 1612 **** (TheMumble.uk), OTMA **** (TheRealChrisparkle.com). Sell-out shows 2025.
