WITHIN THE GLASS
​by Anna Chatterton

September 12 - 23, 2018
"One of the best productions in the city this year!"
- Peter Janes, 
Theatre in London Review
Nominee for the 2017 Governor Generals Award for Drama 
A fertility clinic makes a dire mistake, forcing two very different couples to decide the future of an unborn child. 
​Primal instincts emerge and hilarious chaos ensues.


Within the Glass begins after a critical mistake has been made at a fertility clinic: a fertilized egg has been accidentally implanted into the wrong woman. Two couples from drastically different social circles convene to determine the uncertain future of the IVF child. Primal instincts emerge and passions run high. The play leaves us with the question: What would you do?
