Baby
by
Frank Moher
Synopsis: Liz is a middle-aged nurse happily living the high-rise life when Alex shows up at her door, claiming to be her son. Only problem: she doesn't have a son. So how come he knows so much about her?
As the mystery unfolds (and Liz's life starts to unravel), Alex falls in love with Daisy, the flamboyant upstairs neighbour who insists she gave Steven Spielberg the idea for E.T. The three end up changing one another's lives in ways that not even someone as imaginative as Daisy could have predicted.

Johnson-Diamond in "Big Baby" by Frank Moher,
Alberta Theatre Projects, 2004
"[A] brilliant comedy fraught with dark undertones."
- Jennifer Partridge, The Calgary Herald
- Lisa Wilton, The Calgary Sun "An intriguing play . . . . Moher quickly and expertly establishes normal relationships out of this paranormal situation comedy."
- Kamal Al-Solaylee, The Globe and Mail "Rich, strange, politically and culturally charged."
