"Mitzi's Abortion" is a surprising and compassionate play about a young woman confronting one of life's most difficult and deeply personal decisions in a system determined to make it a political one.
Facing a surprise pregnancy, Mitzi embraces motherhood and a future with her baby's father. But when complications collide with deeply-held beliefs, insurance regulations, and varying reactions from those she loves, Mitzi's world is thrown into chaos. And then Saint Thomas Aquinas and a 17th-century midwife join the fray.
With humor and honesty, this stunning new play takes a multifaceted look at an extraordinarily powerful and contemporary question. "Mitzi's Abortion" was originally commissioned for the 2003 FringeACT Festival and was the recipient of the 2005 ACT New Play Award.
