    Funny, irreverent, and clever, this play takes more than one unexpected turn. It forces you to think hard and laugh hard, which is quite an achievement.

    This daring new play tweaks more than a few taboos. A rich melange of myth, philosophy and moral conundrum, The Baby Stealing Play weaves an engaging tale of two sisters with conflicting motives. Kudos to playwright Nabra Nelson for her originality, command of craft, and utter fearlessness. I look forward to seeing The Baby Stealing Play duly nurtured and produced.
