The play, based on the real life experience of playwright, Natalie Meisner, is about two lesbian looking for a sperm donor and all of the wackos they encounter along the way. Like the Russian physicist who donates sperm as part of his plot for world domination. Or the sex addict. Or the lawyer who tries to get them to sign over all their assets to him if/when they die. Or the priest who doesn't want to donate at all but is trying to save them from their satanic ways. And more.
It was really funny. Two men played all of the potential donors, which meant they did more of the heavy duty character work than the women who played the lesbian couple but the cast was really strong. The set was very simple, with periactoids to help distinguish where the action was talking place (when not in use, they were turn to a side that had, you guessed it! Images of sperm). It was definitely the coolest show/most interesting piece I've seen since I cemented my own eternal damnation in South Africa when I took Sister to see Long Street Nights.
We, like the characters in the play, ended up having a lot of laughs and a happy ending.
