Wow. This fast paced, comedically historical play will draw you in with its goofy game show beginning and hold you tight through the intense frustration of feminism and politics of the USA in the 1960s and earlier. But really, this isn't a play about feminism. I see it as a play about logic and great ideas being ignored or scoffed at because they aren't how "we always do things." The subject of this this play is just as important now as when it was being "conceived" in the 60s. This is a must see show!

What a strong play. I did have to take a lap to calm down and stop seeing waves of red after reading - the historical sexism is STRONG. But it was fascinating to see this moment in time explored. Predictor reaches back to audiences who remember what life was like before home pregnancies were readily available, and out to those who don't really understand the full scope of the literal barriers that stood in pregnant peoples’ way.

A kind of historical-romp-as-instruction tale of the development of the first home pregnancy tests. The primary theme is individual control over health and reproduction decisions, and the structure is a kind of vaudevillian fun show. Less “instructional theater for the already invested” like various plays about the founding of AA ... using a deft sense of pacing, dialogue, and theatrical devices like a chorus and a game show. An extended comedic sketch interspersed with dialogue with an important story to tell.
