Woven into this dark comedy is a mother-daughter tale, a true story of pharmaceutical corruption, and a woman urgently trying to find her voice. With emotional force and pointed wit, the play explores the many ways women are silenced, the misogyny tainting women’s healthcare, and the transcendent power of mother-daughter love. IN THE CERVIX OF OTHERS is a riveting journey, funny, painful, and absurd.   Winner, Jane Chambers Playwriting Award; Featured selection of the Women Playwrights International Conference Montréal; Finalist, Ashland New Plays Festival; Semifinalist, O’Neill National Playwriting Conference.   When: Saturday, September 7th 2:30-4:30PM ​ Where: St John's Episcopal Church, 8 Sunnyside Ave, Pleasantville, NY ​​​ Suggested Donation: $20 adults, $10 students
