Don't Blink Theatre Company presents Stacey Lane’s Great Bellied Women in a double bill
with Caryl Churchill’s Vinegar Tom. The
show runs June 26th through June 30th at Musgrove Studio in
Auckland, New Zealand. This is the first time that Lane’s work has been
performed in New Zealand. In Great Bellied Women, a new one-act
comedy with an all female cast, a Renaissance midwife and her high-spirited daughter test a
potential apprentice’s skills in a pretend delivery. This period piece illuminates the peculiar
practices of Renaissance childbirth, while celebrating the bond of women rising
above their oppression in this sacred exclusively female arena, the Elizabethan
birthing chamber. For production information, go to www.dontblink.co.nz
