At thirteen, Beth learned she was the product of a donated egg. Suddenly, identity became complicated in ways she could not have foreseen. Who is she if not her mother's daughter? And, she's still Jewish... right?
Egg Talk weaves together Beth's story alongside three other voices navigating the space between biology and belonging. Using verbatim theatre, this intimate ensemble piece asks: what makes a family? And when family trees don't tell the whole story, what does?
A search for belonging in the spaces between blood and bond.
