We produced this script as an audio play on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast in our Season 5 line-up (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s5e3). A tale of two women astronauts on a mission to both carry the first pregnancy in space only to find out there's only enough sample for one pregnancy. McClain does a remarkable job building the tension between the characters as they both make their case for being the host all leading to a satisfying ending. Highly recommended fem sci-fi story!

A taunt two-hander in which two women are far enough from the rules and confines of Ground Control and the stereotypes and exterior influences of Earth in order to step back and see life at its most beautiful: a choice.

Emily McClain explores what it means to say "the Future is Female." By foregrounding issues of motherhood, conception, and what it means to have a career and family at the same time. Emily McClain's characters are pitted against one another by an outside (patriarchal) force, but in fighting for what they want, these two women find a satisfying solution. It is wonderful to see a short scifi play that explores themes relevant to modern audiences.

I heard this play produced on the Gather by the Ghostlight Podcast. Very satisfying!
