The Water Children
by Wendy Macleod

"With its mixture of romance, humor and sadness as it addresses the issue of abortion, THE WATER CHILDREN, by Wendy MacLeod, is a fascinating play.” —The New York Times. ”THE WATER CHILDREN…is simply the most intelligent and entertaining play of the season…A work tackling the ticklish issue of abortion as viewed by assorted pro-choicers, pro-lifers, and hetero- and homosexuals holds genuine promise along with a plethora of pitfalls. It is to Miss MacLeod's considerable credit that she fulfills most of the former while sidestepping most of the latter. Her seriocomic piece is as gripping as it is amusing and, best of all, abundantly stimulates thought.“ —New York Magazine. ”…in THE WATER CHILDREN…the writing is even handed, cogent and captivating; an articulate debate touched with…passion and astringent comedy."
