Pretty Baby

Written by Declan Greene
  • A housewife, for no particular reason, begins to find herself indescribably revolting. To escape her body, she consults a plastic surgeon and undergoes a series of massive physical transformations - slowly evolving into something truly monstrous. 

    Pretty Baby is a surreal high-speed mash-up of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, the 'body horror' of David Cronenberg, and silver-screen Monster movies, satirising contemporary constructions of femininity and incising into 'the female grotesque'.

    The Cybec Readings are proudly supported by the Cybec Foundation.
