I saw this streamed as part of the Playground SF production. It's funny, intense, and truly frightening. It needs to be produced right now, as many times as possible, as widely as possible. ”

Absolutely absorbing. This play is an utterly frightening and utterly funny call to action. Set in a world where abortion has been criminalized, freedom of speech has been stomped, neighbors have been turned against each other, and the freedoms we take for granted today have been eradicated. It's "1984" with cupcakes, pop culture references, and laugh-out-loud gallows humor. They literally juggle abortifacients right before a frantic and desperate tap dance. I loved every minute. ”

Alarming, disarming, and unfortunately all too relevant. "Funny, Like An Abortion" feels like a whiplash inducing gut punch from an Abbot and Costello act. Bublitz presents a bleak world in a wonderfully sardonic light. A play that challenges the audience to listen, to laugh nervously, and hopefully change some minds. ”
