SUMMARY:The Embryos by Ginger Lazarus
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Event Name: The Embryos by Ginger Lazarus=0D=0AEvent Url: http://www.artsboston.org/event/detail/441654430=0D=0AEvent Date Begin: 2012-11-30=0D=0AEvent Date End: 2012-12-15=0D=0A=0D=0AMommy and Daddy have tried desperately to have a baby. But where science fails, faith persists. When informed that Mommy's 'degraded uterus' offers no chance of in vitro implantation, Mommy and Daddy have a life-affirming epiphany: rather than discard or donate their embryos, they take them home and raise them like children. All might be well, except that the embryos, Leggo and Eggo, have voracious appetites and uncanny abilities beyond their developmental stage. When they run amok, the poor would-be parents are faced with a choice: save their embryos from the world, or save the world from their embryos.=0D=0A=Ginger Lazarus (Playwright) is an award-winning playwright whose work has been frequently produced in her native Boston and beyond.
