Birth – A play with testimonies about childbirth in America
Saturday, July 23 at 8:00 pm
DONA is offering a reading of the new play: Birth. Karen Brody, a DC-based playwright and doula, has written a 90-minute play with testimonies about childbirth in America. Based on over one hundred interviews Ms. Brody conducted with mothers across America in the winter/spring of 2004, Birth tells the birth stories of seven women, offering a range of perspectives on how educated, middle-class women give birth. Moving between first-person monologues, some dialogue, and the voices these women heard on the day they gave birth, the seven stories paint a picture of how middle-class, educated women give birth in America today.
Birth is dedicated to the playwright's mother, Annette Brody, and was written in memory of Ms. Brody’s friend Mary Kroeger, midwife, author, and a keynote speaker at the 2004 DONA International Conference, who passed away in December 2004. A discussion with the playwright will follow the show. For more information about the play go to www.birththeplay.com.
