Baltimore Playwrights Festival to Present PEOPLE SHOULD TALK ABOUT WHAT'S REAL This Month
This is a dark but funny play that celebrates reproductive choice and intergenerational, female connection, in all its forms.
The 2023 Baltimore Playwrights Festival is reading new works at Spotlighters Theatre!
"Fetus is the real F word, isn't it?" In People Should Talk About What's Real, a brash livestreaming comedian and her long-suffering husband struggle to conceive in covid-era New York City, while across the city another couple deals with the emotional fallout of a miscarriage.
This is a dark but funny play that celebrates reproductive choice and intergenerational, female connection, in all its forms.
The performance will take place on 3/18 @ 10.30 am (Saturday).
Written by Alli Hartley-Kong. Directed by Darren McGregor.
