Midwives

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
