THE BRAMFORD
90 minutes: 3 F, 2 M
Through recreating the iconic horror Rosemary’s Baby under the magical roof of the Bramford apartment, neighbors Gloria and Betty unknowingly bring the characters of the novel–Rosemary, Guy, and Satan–to life. With this power, what else in the Bramford might be waiting to come to life?
​
The Bramford is an experimental, dramedy adaptation of Rosemary's Baby and explores the intersection of three women in one apartment: Gloria, Betty, and Rosemary. Characters are loosely inspired by Gloria Steinman and Betty Friedan, along with the 1960s women's movement.
On Sunday, September 7, 2025, The Bramford was presented as a one-night-only benefit reading at the historic Village Studios in West Los Angeles, supporting Planned Parenthood’s fight for reproductive freedom, gender equality, and access to healthcare.
