Play Reading & Fireside Chat: "SPARE RIB"

  • New World Stages 340 W 50th St New York, NY (map)

A special night of theatre to support the Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project (WRRAP), hosted by New York Rep at New World Stages, followed by a fireside chat with human rights attorney and reproductive rights advocate Julie F. Kay.

SPARE RIB follows two generations of abortion providers: Harriet, a member of the underground collective Jane in the early 1970’s, and Florynce, her daughter who is a contemporary abortion provider. The action rockets between three distinctive eras, early 1970’s, 30 years later and the present. Members of the cast play multiple roles as they time-bend and genre-bend, and, naturalism collides with surrealism
