"Brody's play is a powerful new means of communicating the importance of birth issues to the public." Henci Goer, author of The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth "This honest, painful, funny, compassionate, courageous, and ultimately empowering play should bring it's powerful message to communities across the country. These are stories that women need to hear!" Barbara Behrmann, author of The
Breastfeeding Café: Mothers
Share the Joys, Challenges, and Secrets of Nursing "I really loved the play. You covered a wide range of experiences with knowledge, power, humanity, humor and grace. I had thought it would be more ... judgmental, I guess. I was delighted to find that it wasn't." Denise Couture "Birth was FANTASTIC! Someone sitting near me commented after the play that it could be the next 'Vagina Monologues.'" Ellen Daniels "Your play will touch many lives and create many ripples, changing maternal and child health care." Penny Lane RN, BA, IBCLC "Your creation brought tears to so many eyes, both from laughter and sadness. You, and your crew, did a magnificent job! You are truly inspiring." Tina Overton "I can't tell you what a moving experience it was for me. I believe the play should be shown in every community, on every campus, wherever women gather." Glenda Turner "I am so proud of your achievement in researching, writing and portraying women's birth experiences so clearly. Women are able to relate to the characters, and finally understand how birth is a significant life-changing experience... no matter where they are regarding birth... that is the triumph of the play." Michelle Kendell "I along with a couple other Bradley childbirth educators went to see Birth. We would all love to have our students go see this play. We all loved the play soooooo much, it was so powerful. You have truly created a great play." Valerie Davis "Thank you so much for writing Birth. I'm five months pregnant with our first child. My husband and I saw the play and on the drive home for the first time in my pregnancy we engaged in a much deeper discussion about my birth options than ever before. It was wonderful to hear the stories and the sounds of birth onstage. It got my husband seeing, and now believing, that there are many ways to give birth. We're talking about my birth experience in such a meaningful way now." Tami Wendrow "It was so beautiful to see so many pregnant women in the audience. I, personally, cried throughout the play - weeping especially during the natural childbirth sounds. It took me back to my own sons' births - the pain, the support, and the absolute joy." Amy Outman "I loved your play. I found it to be a very honest presentation of what most American women want in birth, very balanced between the epidural most want and the experiences of women who really want natural childbirth. I think you have done a fantastic piece of work and hope it gets performed around the country!!" Robbie Davis-Floyd
