New York City
When does life begin – at nine minutes or nine months? Whose Family Values! enters the debate over a woman’s right to control her life and that of her fetus, as it examines a family deeply involved in pro-life activities. When the lone dissenter returns for a wedding, and bomb threats come to light, each member must examine their own conscience to stop a disaster. The legal status of abortion still fuels social, political, and media debate as peaceful protest continues to turn to violence and death.
Woodie King, Jr.’s New Federal Theatre presents this new play by Richard Abrons, directed by Philip Rose.
