little lives

Women’s Choice and Women’s Care are next door neighbors that couldn’t be more different. Women’s Choice is poor, Women’s Care is well-funded. Women's Choice is under assault, Women's Care has chocolate chip cookies. Women’s Choice is an abortion clinic. Women’s Care is the crisis pregnancy center dedicated to taking it down. little lives is a pro-choice play about shared humanity across ideological lines...

    This play is full of conversations that couldn't be more relevant today. Conversations about people that are pro-choice and anti-abortion. Conversations about faith. Conversations about the family we choose and the ones we are born into. Feit portrays both sides of this debate as fairly as possible. No one is portrayed as evil, just flawed. The final scene is so moving and will inspire so many post-show conversations. Can't wait to see this produced.

    I participated in a workshop of this play at the 2019 Sewanee Writer's Conference, and I'm taken with its symmetry, artfully-structured, humanist approach to what could be an insurmountable subject matter. Felt tackles layers of issues around women's reproductive rights with a fervor and pace that feels so current, and yet within this narrative are conversations that women have been having for such long, long time. There's a universe in these specific moments, in this brilliant play.
