It's Ottawa in the 1920s, pre-legalized birth control. When Sophie, a young working-class girl, becomes pregnant again after two difficult childbirths, she faces a grim dilemma. In an unflinching look at love, sex, class, and fertility, one of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights vividly recreates a couple’s struggles with reproduction.
