Goodnight Embryos by Maureen McGranaghan
The Void Theatre Company presents a workshop production of Goodnight Embryos by playwright Maureen McGranaghan.
Em and Belle, a lesbian couple, are the happy new parents of a son named Rory. Belle harvested her eggs and carried the baby, with a friend providing the sperm. However, the procedure resulted in six embryos, and the couple must now decide what to do with the remaining five. Belle wants another child, but Em demurs. Do they donate the embryos to another couple or to science, or let them be destroyed? The play shows their lives over a decade, as they grapple with this decision and their changing lives.
This show contains themes of fertility. Please take care.
