A deft delve into the world of what parents (and society) can and can't control in our children. A play that takes the simmering ideas of who is deserving and thrusts them into an end-game where children are tested in utero for 'pre-certification' or a pass into free society. By focusing tightly on two expectant couples and a smart sci-fi frame, this play becomes a lively, engaging, theatrical exploration of genetic testing and the limits of 'safety.' It jumps off the page, timely, relevant and ready for production.
