Push

By Mike Duhame

PUSH is a play that explores the lives of twenty-five men and women on the topics of conception, pregnancy, delivery and parenthood. Based solely on the interview materials collected by the author, PUSH offers an unbiased look at the universal and curious experiences people face that rarely get talked about. ---- "I find it interesting that I should be interviewed for stories about pregnancy and conception since I'm a gay man. But, I have a feeling I know why you wanted to talk and I do have a story." - M. Smedley, Interview participant ---- "I contemplated suicide a lot, but you think a lot about the people you'd hurt by doing that. You see, it isn't that you really want to die, but you want the pain to stop and you can't think of any other way." - S. Whitmore, Interview participant ---- "A child can unite a couple, but the obsession of having a child can also destroy marriages. It almost destroyed my marriage until I had to let go of all of my feelings of entitlement." - C. Clegg, Interview participant ---- "Walk. That's the most common thing I've heard people say to jump-start labor. I must've walked enough this past week to get to the ocean and back by now." - P. Evans, Interview participant
