“Shit. Fetus is the real f word here, right?” Humor is treasure to be discovered in this treasure hunt of a short play. Alli uses the difficult subject matter of infertility and miscarriage to show us all the ways in which fear, trauma, and grief can be finite instead of infinitely depressing and insurmountable. Two strangers bonding in a waiting room is an everyday occurrence, and this one will leave you with laughs, hope, and solidarity.

To think that two women who are very different can bond in the waiting room of a fertility clinic is heartening. That they can find humor in their individual situations and each other's ability to make the other laugh is even better, especially since Katherine is ordinarily shy. I loved the line: "Is there a nursing home for aged-out ovaries?" Women will like this play. Congratulations, Alli.
