Piece Description

Dr. Melanie Laidlaw is a scientist developing the first use of ICSI, short for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Her collaborator, Dr. Felix Frankenthaler, turns out to have his own ideas about how to implement their new procedure. The wild card is Melanie’s new lover, Menachem Dvir, a fellow scientist. This darkly comic menage-a-trois plays out not only in bedrooms and labs, but also in test tubes and under the microscope. Starring Jobeth Williams, Philip Casnoff, and Kevin Kilner. Written by Carl Djerassi. Directed by Jenny Sullivan. The show includes an interview with Liza Mundy, author of "Everything Conceivable."
