Eight commissioned fiction and nonfiction monologues respond to the 2022 Dobbs ruling and address women’s sexuality, bodily autonomy and freedom of choice, including abortion, miscarriage, abuse and end-of-life decisions.
The play follows Alma, a dark-skinned Black woman, and Eugene, a very fair-skinned Black man, from childhood on the South Carolina coast through adulthood in New York. Their friendship becomes a relationship as they confront colorism, class, family and personal tragedy. Eugene’s inheritance and conflict with his father lead to murder and imprisonment, while Alma is left pregnant and ends her pregnancy.
