I Hate This
Please, if you have an hour to spare, listen to this incredible radio drama of my friend David's play I Hate This. For those who know me, you may know that this was the play we took to the New York Int'l Fringe Festival in the summer of 2004. It's also been performed at the Minnesota Fringe Festival and at several seminars for nurse-midwives and loss and bereavement specialists.
The play is about the events leading up to, during, and after the stillbirth of his son in 2001. It's powerful, moving and even disturbingly funny in places but never angsty or maudlin. The radio version debuted on the day after Thanksgiving, which is meaningful because no other work has made me more thankful for the fact that, despite some worrisome issues with my second daughter's birth, my family is healthy and whole. Stillbirth is an unimaginable horror story to those who have never experienced it, but Dave's story helps make it more tangible and understandable.
Oh yeah, and that's my voice doing the narration of timestamps and chapter titles.
