The Water Children
Christine Brunner
Closing the season is another Cincinnati premiere: Wendy MacLeod’s provocative comedy, The Water Children. The play thoughtfully explores the issue of abortion, presenting all sides of the issue without becoming didactic or preachy, and is handled with MacLeod’s (The House of Yes) unique brand of humor.
Alex Cline
When 36-year old Megan loses an important role to a younger woman, her agent convinces her to take a part in a commercial for Life Force, a pro-life group. Megan, having had an abortion at 16, and being a staunch liberal, is conflicted about the job. In accepting the role, she unwittingly embarks on the personal journey of her life, spinning into her past, magnifying her present, and leaving her completely at a loss as to her future.
