Hilariously realistic. Anyone who has ever been a new parent will relate to this short, heartwarming comedy about those first sleep-deprived months (years?!) of parenthood.

Without giving too much away, this short play tackles the stressors of parenting in the most extreme and absurd of situations. The reveal makes for a shockingly, darkly comedic moment that audiences won't soon forget.

A beautiful, funny, and touching reflection on what it means to be a parent and a family today. Full of hope and humor, raw beauty, and a bit of pain, this play captures the roller coaster of expectations and emotions associated with bringing new life into the world.

A charming play that has you rooting for Danny and his family. Would be enjoyable to see for adults, kids, and families of all shapes and sizes (and species).

A fun look at science's many possible roles in the pregnancy process, the ways we navigate the unknown, and how instinct usually wins out in the end.

I absolutely devoured this play. Wickedly smart, funny...this play is everything I want in Shakespeare and more. A joyous script. Adaptation done right. I hope to see this in production.

An astonishingly beautiful play. Moving, poetic, real, and raw, this play deserves production after production.

A hilariously witty satire about the pains of parenthood. Would love to see a staged version!

A fun play about all kinds of beginnings with fresh humor and plenty of heart.

An absolutely beautiful, subtle play about the unspoken struggles of navigating the world of parenting (or desperately wishing you could). The perfect piece to inject some perspective into those lucky enough to call themselves parents without preachiness or pretention.
