Pink Slippers

Recommended by

  • J.Lois Diamond: Pink Slippers by Jessica Feder-Birnbaum
    “

    This play depicts a woman being examined by her MAGA ob-gyn. It is visceral, absurd and at times humorous. I felt like my feet were also in stirrups as she sparred with him. Feder- Birnbaum has created two juicy roles which both actors would have a field day with. Produce this now!
