Photo Flash: Meet the Cast of BIRTH AND AFTER BIRTH at the Players Club of Swarthmore

The Players Club of Swarthmore presents Birth and After Birth by Tina Howe, directed by George Mulford of Swarthmore, on the Raymond W. Smith stage. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast below!

Absurdism meets gynecology in this outrageous comedy by Tina Howe. Two couples are celebrating a 4-year-old's birthday party. The hosts, who are clearly challenged by the task of raising their horror of a son, somehow think the guests should also embark on parenthood, despite the fact that the guests are professional anthropologists traumatized by witnessing childbirth in societies way beyond exotic. Whether you're contemplating it, doing it, or living with the disastrous consequences, Howe seems to be saying, childbirth is not for the faint-hearted. This is a play that is guaranteed to make half the audience squirm.

The cast includes Anthony San Filippo of Springfield, Donna Kelly Romero of Drexel Hill, Jim Fryer of Lansdowne. Aimee Theresa of West Chester, and David E. Griffith of Drexel Hill.
