After a lifetime of drinking, Ruby's mum has been given 24 hours to live. But Ruby's got a therapist and a self-help book and she's doing fine. Really good actually. She's off social media, pumping whale music, and thinks the ICU is the perfect place to practise mindfulness. That is until a man jumps out at her in an alley, her estranged twin sister returns, and she finds herself flirting at a salsa class instead of by her mum's bedside... Dizzying, irreverent and heart-wrenching, Bonsai Baby is a comic exploration of the gap between self-care and self-love, asking how, and who, we care for during times of great uncertainty. This is for anyone who loves someone who's hurt them. Anyone who finds family love difficult. Anyone who has high-functioning chaos energy
