New Short Play ~ Our Hands are Tied

….her writing is vivid and engaging, capturing the essence of a current and horrific subject concerning women’s health. The characters are well-drawn, each with a distinct voice and personality that shines through their dialogue…”  BookReview.com                                         

Women needlessly lose their lives in childbirth and miscarriage every day in this country, due to harsh, restrictive bans on abortion and women’s reproductive health.

Politicians have inserted themselves into the most private and devastating decisions a woman might have to make in her life.  Instead of her husband and priest, pastor or rabbi standing at her side supporting her during a decision regarding her own body, old white guys are in the room.  Making laws and enforcing them with regard to elective health care, unviable pregnancies, and sudden miscarriages.

This play dramatically and graphically portrays the agony of losing a baby, bleeding out and all too frequently resulting in the death of the mother. All the while with doctors and nurses standing helplessly by, doing nothing, in fear of going to prison if they touch the woman or the fetus while there remains a heartbeat.
