How Can A Body Withstand This?

"If they want to push my body this far, then I want them to look at me."

In the hours after Roe v. Wade is overturned by the US Supreme Court, a woman in rural Tennessee is denied abortion care that she could have had the day before. Thrust into a dizzying world of doctors, protesters, crossing state lines and a media frenzy, her best friend returns to the beginning to understand how we got here.

A gripping solo play about friendship, home, grief, and yes – abortion.
