“THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE.” Washington Post
“ONE OF THE MOST POLARIZING SOCIAL ISSUES OF THE MODERN ERA.” TheaterMania
An urgent call to action in response to the upcoming Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that gave women the choice of a safe, legal abortion.
Part outdoor rally, part call to action, the Fountain Theatre unleashes a hyper-staged reading of the explosive play that's earned rave reviews across the country. Acclaimed writer Lisa Loomer cuts through the headlines to reveal the real-life woman who became "Jane Roe," the female attorney who argued her case before the Supreme Court, and the challenging years following that fateful decision.
Powerful, funny, poignant, and inspiring, ROE is a fast-moving, fair-minded look at the complicated human beings behind these two iconic women while reflecting the polarization in America today.
Vanessa Stallings, who helmed the noted production at The Goodman in Chicago, directs.
