Another play about women who regretted the decisions they made, and blamed feminism for giving them the right to make the decisions. Another tired play about how women reach a certain age and must, just must, have children before it's too late. To give this play credit, there is a female character who doesn't have children and is quite good with that, but her story is a background story, serving only as a slight balance to the two female characters who must race the clock to have children. The other thing that is different in this play is that the men are also characters who are struggling with failure, so at least it is not set up against a "men get to do all these things without problems" whine. The characters are not convincing to me, the dialogue is dull, and I had trouble keeping the characters straight until the end of the last act, when I finally had it sorted out who was who, just as it ended. Add in the subplot of a young woman who has gotten pregnant, hates everything middle class, sees attempts to convince her to abort and finish her education as oppressive, and is as obnoxious a brat as any I've seen, and it completes the picture.
