BIRTH, a play by Karen Brody at the Thelma Dewitty Theater (Seattle/Puget Sound BOLD)

The story of eight women, BIRTH delivers a theatrical experience that melds the unbridled hilarity, the unexpected poignancy, and the tragic truth about power in maternity care. Moving between first-person monologues, some dialogue, and the voices these women heard on the day they gave birth, the play BIRTH confronts "The naked truth about childbirth in America."

A theatrical experience not to be missed, BIRTH will be presented on Labor Day weekend and throughout the month of September, locally and around the world, as part of BOLD/Birth on Labor Day. Puget Sound performances will take place in Everett, Edmonds, Green Lake, South Seattle, West Seattle, Vashon Island and Tacoma.

Performances are followed by a talkback with cast members and guest from the birth profession.
