“I admire what I think was a deep awareness of the big picture. I was really expecting the typical birth-community black and white, knee-jerk response/remedy to women having disempowered births: "Well, dear... don't you know that OB's and hospitals are the devil in hell and midwives are the angels of childbirth?" What I saw instead, was that one thing doesn't equal another and that, for me, meets my needs for honesty, respect, truth, and a shared reality. Congratulations on doing something to stimulate men and women to ask questions of themselves and their careproviders.”

“The play struck a cord in me about a reality that is true for many women, and that is that we have a hard time honoring our own inner truth. It was a great portrayal of the gammit of thoughts and emotion many women experience in pregnancy and birth today.”

“My daughter has been raised to be a feminist and normal birth advocate, so of course she loved it. Surprisingly, her boyfriend found the play "a great way to get across information, without putting people to sleep." High praise from a 19 year old male!”

“I attended BIRTH with my mother in tow. Not only did my mother enjoy the play immensely, and reminisced about my "natural" birth a few decades ago (she is sooo proud that she confused the interns at Stanford who didn't know that women could do such a thing!), but she hasn't stopped telling her friends about it since. Glad to know that we will have bragging rights nearly half a century into the future - as we *should.* If trauma lasts that long, why shouldn't joy and achievement?”
