Collage of pregnancy/childbirth experiences

See it if Important subject of pregnancy/childbirth and the many issues with the medical system, but the experimentalish stream of content's confusing

Don't see it if No plot, no clear direction, dabs here and there with some occasional music and group dances. Unclear transitions between characters. Read more

Slow, Intense, Ambitious

See it if You really enjoy theatre about the birthing experience. The show bites off a bit more than it can chew.

Don't see it if You have a short attention span or enjoy repetitive material. This show could use another several revisions.

Absorbing, Profound, Emotional

See it if you want to see a hugely diverse range of stories about pregnancy. This is an emotionally poignant show with a powerful call to action

Don't see it if you would be triggered by discussions of pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, etc. Or you're looking for a strong narrative structure
