About So Thrilled For You:

An intense heatwave. A high-stakes baby shower. Will it all end in tears?

The Little Women: Nicki, Lauren, Charlotte and Steffi. Friends since university, they are now in their thirties and life is pulling them in different directions. Until a baby shower invite arrives...

Reunited on a sweltering hot summer’s day, tensions rise quickly as the friendship group reveal what is pulling them all apart...

STEFFI: powerhouse literary agent who is happily child-free but feeling judged by her friends

CHARLOTTE: desperate to conceive yet intent on organising the ‘perfect’ baby shower for her friend

LAUREN: who is finding motherhood far, far worse than she imagined

NICKI: who never wanted a baby shower and is holding onto secrets from the past

Can their friendship survive the high-pressure event and the subsequent police investigation, as a fire starts?

Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.
