WINNER!!! BEST OF FRINGE! 2006 San Francisco Fringe Festival
"Comically provocative! …revelatory and a comfort to other new parents….The uninhibited Clifford delves into some taboo topics with uncommon frankness and disarming charm. It’s daringly personal and, in Clifford’s unabashedly generous performance, as engaging as it is provocative."
– San Francisco Chronicle
"An extremely gifted talent! One of the most original new voices to come out of New York City in years. Her warmth, intelligence and killer wit …bring out the humanity in even the most outrageous situations."
-Catherine Burns, Artistic Director, the Moth
"BabyLove is the most important piece of feminist theatre since The Vagina Monologues."
-kulturevermitterlin
"Smart, sexy and funny! Clifford is a wonderful storyteller and she performs with such truth and authenticity that by the end everyone in the audience wants to be her little one."
-Mladina (like the Eastern European Village Voice)
"Christen Clifford is a fabulous writer and performer! BabyLove goes to places about motherhood that few would dare explore. Speaking the unspeakable is one of my favorite art forms and Christen has the guts to put BabyLove on stage, outing another one of society’s dirty little secrets."
-Betty Dodson, PhD, author of Sex for One
ABOUT THE SHOW: Clifford’s true stories expose sex and motherhood with refreshing candor and humor; by exploring the intimate, she illuminates the universal.
