This play is a magic trick. It takes the specifics of an intimidating topic like IVF and turns it into a night of theatre that's joyful, hilarious, and fulfilling. Can I be real? ADs should be tripping over themselves to put this show in their seasons. Families will see themselves, it's an incredible opportunity for the strongest performer in your community, and it'll have people lining up in the lobby asking to shake hands with the person who programmed it. It's a can't miss.

I saw the staged reading of this play at Warehouse Theatre in Greenville and was blown away. Veronika tackles difficult material with hilarity, intelligence, and moments of unearthed raw emotion.

On stage, Veronika is a powerhouse: engaging, funny, honest, brave, totally watchable. I felt like I was spending time with a friend.

I’m still living with this play. It touched on things I’ve experienced and masterfully led me to make my own discoveries. This play deserves an audience immediately.

This dynamic, raw, breathtaking one-woman show transforms a lonely experience into a communal one, inviting audience members (both in-person and remote) to experience the playwright’s journey of infertility and IVF alongside her. The audience participation component is much more than a gimmick here: whether playing doomed sperm, the playwrights empathetic mother, or even sharing their own single-word reasons for wanting babies, the audience’s role in the storytelling is full of meaning and purpose. The ferocious honesty and vivid theatricality in Duerr’s script have created that rare autobiographical play in which the personal becomes universal.
