The story of eight women, Birth delivers a theatrical experience that melds the unbridled hilarity, the unexpected poignancy, and the tragic truth about power in maternity care. With first-person monologues, some dialogue, and the voices these women heard when they gave birth, the play confronts "The naked truth about childbirth in America." Birth will be presented on Labor Day weekend and throughout the month of September, locally and around the world, to benefit mother-friendly maternity care. - August 21, 2007
