Delly's Belly

ROLAND: Your milk tastes great, Mom.

Absurd comedy

Delly, a young, enormously, impossibly pregnant mother-to-be isn’t sure what to expect from childbirth and it sure does take her by surprise when she gives birth on a park bench, with the help of a strange old woman. But when her baby turns out to be a middle-aged man in a suit, the challenges of motherhood really begin to set in.

Current finalist of the 2006 EATfest award for Emerging Artists Theatre, New York, NY.

DELLY – Female, early-twenties, naïve and a bit of a redneck

OLD WOMAN – Appears out of nowhere, wise, but totally off her friggin’ rocker

ROLAND – A middle-aged man, DELLY’s son
