A blind date, a wedding, a Gypsy curse and a longed for baby…

Presented by Gary Skyner Productions, the debut performance of The Bitterest Pill tells the story of how one small tablet changed a family forever.  When Frances gave birth to her son Gary, she knew her life was about to change, but not in the way she expected.  Gary was born with severely deformed upper limbs, Frances could think of nothing but taking her child home and looking after him. Her husband Brian had different ideas – an institution was the best place for Gary, to allow the young couple to get on with their lives and have another child.  Frances refused.
