‘He can’t call you both Dad. One of you should be Dad and the other one Daddy, surely?’ 

​

Daniel and Oliver are about to have their first baby. With their best friend, Priya, acting as surrogate, they’ve turned the study into a nursery and the bottles are sterilised. All that’s missing is the bundle of joy they’ve been pining for. 

But when Daniel’s chaotic mother gatecrashes the baby shower with a few home truths, the cracks in Daniel and Oliver’s relationship begin to show. Are they as ready for this as they think they are? And more importantly, is Priya? 

​

Everyone knows you can choose your friends. Chris Thompson’s gripping new comedy Of Kith and Kin takes us to the heart of what happens when we choose our family too.
