    “

    Don't drop the egg in the spoon, pregnancy, a life changed because of another life - the fragility of life, the fragility of choice, the fragility of women - there's a lot going on in this short piece and none of it's easy. All of it is possible. There are four generations of women on stage who have known varying women's rights. The youngest has none of them. Darkly funny and frightening, you do wonder - what happens when women's rights are as fragile as the egg in the spoon? A timely and thoughtful play with four meaty female roles.

    Rachael Carnes peers dreadfully into the future in “Egg in Spoon.” Three women are culpable in the destiny of a fourth in this dystopian world where reproductive rights have become as fragile as the egg in the childhood game being played outside. Carnes is reading the tea leaves of our current political climate... and speaking as the parent of a daughter, what she is foreseeing is frightening to me. A strong cautionary tale that I’m convinced isn’t far from the realm of possibility.

    I can't think of a better play that has included women of various ages/generations as this play. What a gift for female actors! This play is remarkable for another reason: effortlessly presenting through its conflict the distinct character voices that capture different life and generational perspectives on womanhood, reproduction, and sexuality. I didn't read the summary before reading the play; I recommend you don't read it.
