Live Table Read: My Baby Your Baby by Ralph Jones

My Baby Your Baby by Ralph Jones

For new dads Henry and Will, life couldn't be more stressful. They are each struggling with the exhaustion that comes with having a two-month-old daughter: Will, a security guard, may get fired for falling asleep, and Henry, a solicitor, risks missing out on a promotion. Henry suggests to Will that they swap babies temporarily because the sleep cycles will allow each of them to catch up on much-needed rest. They do so, without telling their partners (Lucy and Emily), and life is easier. Meanwhile, Henry's mother Patricia comes to stay, seeking respite from her husband Neil, who has started making YouTube videos. Amid the chaos, Henry and Will have to make sure that no one discovers what they have done before they swap the babies back again.

The script contains strong language.
