Extra Ordinary by Emily Henry (Bath Fringe 2025)

  • The Mission Theatre 32 Corn Street Bath, BA1 1UF United Kingdom (map)

Rachel and Max are an ordinary couple, living ordinary lives until something extraordinary turns everything upside down. Now they have the single most important decision of their life to make.

They piece together their thoughts, bit by bit, good and bad, speaking the things you shouldn’t say and contemplating the never ending ‘What ifs’.

Extra Ordinary follows Max and Rachel as they consider the news that their unborn baby will be born with Down’s Syndrome. They are faced with many life-changing decisions -- how will their lives change, what complexities will their child have, will they be able to support their child? The list goes on. Ultimately, is there a right decision?

Extra Ordinary is an emotional rollercoaster, exploring the differing perspectives of a mother and father. As they debate, reflect, and consider all the possibilities, the question remains, will they reach a conclusion?

This piece of new writing examines the effects of genetic testing and the impact this has on the diversity of our society. Extra Ordinary is a powerful, thought-provoking experience that will leave you pondering, what you would do in their position?
