Birth and After Birth
Author(s):
Tina Howe
A witty and sophisticated satire by the author of Otte Shoe Off and other popular comedies, this play takes place during a child's fourth birthday party. The boy's
parents have invited another couple, anthropologists renowned for their international studies of childhood behavior. The adults become so involved in debating various
theories of child rearing and telling each other stories that they forget to actually be parents. "A stunning theatrical experience that explores the magic and madness in
family dynarnies."-Main Line Times. "An antic farce and a poignant drama . . . that is laugh-out-loud funny and disturbingly sober. . . . It's a pearl. "-Metropolitan (D.C.) Times. "One of [Tina Howe's] significant works. . . . Will be remembered as the high point of Philadelphia's annual Theatre Week. "-TheatreWeek.
