I saw “Birth” at the Vortex Theatre in Austin. The range of emotion and experiences brought to life on stage was truly remarkable. I laughed and cried, rejoiced and got mad.

I think your choice of medium serves the subject matter and the expression of it well. To read these same stories in a book would not have the same impact. To see and hear – to dramatically feel — the where and how and why educated women choose the birth experiences they do was illuminating. Your work should be required viewing for every person working in medicine, and at least suggested for every expectant parent.

Keep up the good work.
