For immediate release!

Rude Guerrilla presents the US Premiere of Linda McLean's strangers,babies April 11!

Rude Guerrilla Theater Company is pleased to announce the US Premiere of Scottish playwright Linda McLean's disturbing 2007 drama
strangers, babies as the fourth production in its eleventh season.

One woman. Five men. When Dan married his wife, he knew he wasn't in for a simple life. Duncan is dying, his day made worse by the arrival
of his daughter. Roy's internet chat strikes pay dirt when he meets a woman who shares his unusual tastes. Denis didn't want to see his
sister again, but there was something about her phone call that made him do it. Abel is in Social Services and one mother's reluctance to
give him access to her son has him suspicious. May is the woman in their lives…and she's coming undone.
