Austin Pendleton directs the New York City premiere of Sarah Treem’s rapid-fire joust between two women scientists: one older, one younger and with a complicated history. A scholarly debate on the purposes – not the how but the why - of female reproductive processes escalates into an all-in, life-changing clash around power and age, sex and gender, and the hard choices faced by women of every generation. A Golden Globe Award-winning writer, Treem turns a domestic drama into biological warfare as a pair of academics face off in this compelling, emotionally searing play about science, family, and survival of the fittest. Performed by Karen Leiner and Arielle Goldman.
