Annie’s post from earlier today about Mitzi’s Abortion is startling because (1) she claims in the first sentence to have “really liked it” and in the second sentence that it’s “the most affecting play I’ve seen so far this year,” and as anyone who remembers Annie’s reign of terror as theater editor knows, these sorts of words do not come easily to her; and (2) because her point about there being almost no plays, TV shows, movies, or novels dealing with abortion is true, in spite of it being such a hot subject. The first thing you think of, if you survived four years of English in a decent high school, is Hemingway’s story “Hills Like White Elephants.” Here’s the text, accompanied by a transfixing picture of some woman.
