It was her search for good scripts that took Ila Arun to New York two years ago. And when the well-known folk singer and theatre personality came across Tammy Ryan's Baby's Blues, the script appealed to her for more than one reason. "The title itself caught my eye. Plus, she has written the story of a new mother, and the challenges she goes through while taking care of her baby with great sensitivity," explains Arun. It was also around the same time that her daughter Ishita had given birth to her second child, so it felt closer to home.
