Stories

Anna is approaching 40. She recently split up with her boyfriend, yet her desire to have a child is growing ever more obsessive. Anna is a casting director conducting the most important auditions of her life—as she searches for a father for her future baby.

Filled with a host of absurd situations—comic, surreal, yet tragic at their core—the play explores an important question for contemporary Europeans: the challenge of reproduction.
