    “

    The Pro-Life Horror; or a Pro-Choice Farce by John Medlin is a bold, unapologetic political satire that leans fully into absurdity to provoke laughter and debate. With rapid-fire humor, outrageous scenarios, and fearless irreverence, the play skewers ideological extremes while embracing theatrical chaos. Its inventive premise and high-energy pacing create a wildly entertaining, sharply provocative stage experience.

    A witty, sardonic piece of political theatre that needs to see a stage immediately. Over the top, satirical, and hilarious. Beautiful work, John Medlin!
