Description
Presented in the form of a Play in Three Acts, this is the trial of a traditional, homebirth midwife.
Midwife Dutton is charged with Practicing Medicine Without A License and Child Abuse. You the jury must decide the fate of the midwife based upon legal arguments and witness testimony from actual midwife trials. Yet, even after hearing the facts and seeing onstage reenactments, this remains a complicated case that pits modern medicine and scientific rationalism against traditional women's ways. The audience is ultimately asked: "Who is to blame when a home birth goes bad?"
