A woman fights for her life and a lawyer tries to do her job in a Kafka-esque drama about bureaucratic chaos in a post-Roe America. This hot-off-a-workshop-script dives unflinchingly into the heart of forced-birth issues. With a sometimes surreal style, Blood of the Lamb is a heartfelt (and heartbreaking) look at two women navigating the vagaries of a law that requires a dead fetus to be carried to term as an unborn "citizen' of the state of Texas." Certainly a play of our current moment, as we find these women at opposite sides of the table amidst legal precedents, administrative madness, and moral obligation to humanity.
