Two women, one apartment, and nine very eventful months. Baby Mama is a predictable comedy about a successful and single businesswoman whose plans of having a child are thrown when she discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant. The film’s opening sequence shows the career-driven Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) on a blind date, where she explains, “ Some women got pregnant, I got promoted. I want a baby now, I'm 37." Needless to say, her blind date rapidly flees the scene.

One OF the highlights of the Town Hall’s autumn programme will be an outstanding new production of Sean O’Casey’s Juno and the Paycock.

The Boyle family, deep in poverty, is made up of father, mother, son and daughter. Jack is a loafer, his wife, Juno, tries to keep things together, son Johnny is crippled from battle wounds in ‘the troubles’, while daughter Mary, is on strike.

‘CAPTAIN’ JACK Boyle is a lout. He can’t be bothered working and prefers to spend his time drinking in Foley’s sung, being the ‘big man’. He’s a hero to the barflies - but what about hiss family?
