Events Description
The subtitle for this play is: a contemporary clinical abortion in the spirit of a Western. Playwright Jill Connell harnesses the macho Western genre and populates it with a gang of female outcasts and misfits. Like any good Western, there is an unsentimental treatment of life and death, surrounded by swagger, tall tales, one up-man-ship and wilderness. Jill puts an abortion at the center of the story without commenting on it – it’s not gruesome or tragic – it’s just an ordinary occurrence in this woman’s life one day, and then her day goes on. What’s extraordinary are the relationships onstage. It’s populated by the intimacy of female friendship, as these women have long overdue conversations. The show is playful, funny, delicate and surprising.
