Extra Ordinary

About

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 shouldnt 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 Downs 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?

Extra Ordinary explores the differing perspectives of a mother and father. 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?
