Midwives

Based on Chris Bohjalian’s #1 New York Times Bestselling Novel and Oprah’s Book Club Selection, MIDWIVES is both a gripping tale of suspense and a riveting courtroom drama. When a major snowstorm breaks out during a routine home birth, cutting off all communication with the outside world, midwife Sibyl Danforth is forced to make an impossible decision.'Unforgettable.' -Broadway World'Evocative and unnerving ... Rarely will an intermission blackout leave audiences quite so shaken.' -The Star-Ledger'It is so riveting we cannot believe how intense the room is at times.' -New Jersey Stage'The first act is thrumming with tension, like a plucked string, initially, tuned then turned ever tighter, to near the breaking point. You’ll buy a seat, but you’ll only need the edge. And when the first act is through and the lights come up, only then will you realize that you hardly dared to breathe.' -OnStage'A first-class thriller ... some of the most riveting drama ... in any theatre anywhere.' -New Jersey Hills
