Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Soon Life
Her waters aren’t the only thing breaking.
A heavily pregnant, thirty-something woman is in labour. Too scared to go to the hospital in lockdown London, she’s decided to have the ‘perfect’ home birth with nothing but a birthing ball and a boxset to get her through it.
Plans are derailed when her ex turns up and refuses to leave.
As her labour progresses and with the midwife unreachable, the pair are forced to confront the remnants of their relationship and their breakup before everything changes forever with the arrival of their child.
The Soon Life delivers a funny, gripping, fly-on-the-wall portrait of a woman on the cusp of change.
