The play is about an abortion – but also: waiting, haunting, cheating, hurting, daring and the private cultivation of one’s humanity. It is singular and surprising and epic and lean as Bowie. You cannot help but talk about this play. It is the work of a lover and a rebel. To miss it, would be to miss a master in her early bloom.’\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e– Claudia Dey, author of \u003ci\u003eTrout Stanley\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStunt\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘I love this absolutely idiosyncratic play.
