SUMMARY:The Birth of the Pill at TimeLine Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A powerful world premiere about science\, power\, and the women who paid the price for progress. \nIn the mid‑20th century\, a radical dream begins to take shape: a simple pill that would give women full control over their reproductive futures. Championing this groundbreaking idea are feminist activist Margaret Sanger\, scientist Gregory Pincus\, gynecologist John Rock\, and philanthropist Katharine McCormick—visionaries working under intense secrecy amid legal\, scientific\, and religious roadblocks. Meanwhile\, in Puerto Rico\, clinical trials raise ethical questions\, as the lives and bodies of women like Ramona Delgado are exploited in the quest for scientific advancement. \nCommissioned and developed by TimeLine and based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jonathan Eig (King: A Life)\, this world premiere explores the transformative power of vision and invention\, alongside the costs of pursuing both by any means necessary. \nThe commission and development of The Birth of the Pill was supported in part by the Joseph and Bessie Feinberg Foundation. \nThis performance of The Birth of the Pill will be open captioned with a text display of words and sounds heard during the performance. The display is positioned in such a way that it is open for anyone to see in a particular seating area. It is a service you may choose to use or ignore during the performance. Captioning is provided by c2 Inc.\, www.c2net.org. \nAccessibility: Open Captioning \nWebsite: https://timelinetheatre.com/events/open-captioned-pill/
