In the summer of 1963, 17-year-old New Yorker Frances "Baby" Houseman )is vacationing with her affluent family at Kellerman's,[5] a resort in the Catskill Mountains. Baby develops a crush on the resort's dance instructor Johnny Castle, part of the working-class entertainment staff. When Baby, while carrying a watermelon, is invited to one of their secret after-hour parties, she observes for the first time the "dirty dancing" that the staff enjoys. She is intrigued by the sexy dancing, and receives a brief lesson from Johnny. Later, Baby discovers that Johnny's dance partner Penny Johnson is distraught over being pregnant by Robbie Gould, the womanizing waiter who is dating and cheating on Lisa, Baby's sister. Baby learns that Robbie plans to do nothing about the pregnancy as he says "Some people count, some people don't," so she secures the money from her father to pay for Penny's illegal abortion. Baby's father agrees to give her the money despite her secrecy regarding what it will be used for, because of the trust he holds in his daughter. In her efforts to help, Baby also becomes Penny's fill-in for a performance at the Sheldrake, a nearby resort where Johnny and Penny perform annually. This upcoming show requires Johnny to train Baby to become a better dancer and learn the required routine.
As Baby becomes Johnny's pupil in dance, tempers flare and a romance begins to develop. Their performance at the Sheldrake goes reasonably well. When they return to Kellerman's, they learn that Penny's backstreet abortion was botched, leaving Penny in agonizing pain. Baby brings her father to help, but he assumes that the pregnancy was caused by Johnny, and forbids Baby to have anything to do with him or his friends. He is furious at Baby for lying to him and betraying his trust. Baby, however, defies her father and goes to visit Johnny in his room that very night, where they begin an affair.
This links to my play as it shows a man who gets a young woman pregnant and then lesves her telling her to have an abortion. he says that he doesn't know if the baby is his and this links to Chris who says the same thing in my play when confronted with the pregnancy.
It also shows young love and relationships.
Titanic
Links to my play because it shows a mother daughter relationship that is having troubles and they are disagreeing on the decisions and choices the daughter should make. This leads her to rebel and start an affair. This rebellion links to Jade and the mother’s disapproval of her choices. Rose’s fiancée has expectations of her but she goes against them as Jade goes against her expectations of her father if not on purpose.
