HUMAN ERROR

by Eric Pfeffinger

February 3 – March 18, 2023

Madelyn and Keenan are NPR-listening, latte-sipping blue-staters who are planning a family. Or they were, anyway, until the fertility clinic screwed up and accidentally implanted their fertilized embryo in another uterus – a uterus belonging to a small-government churchgoing NRA cardholder. Can these ideologically hostile couples make it together through nine months of gestation without killing each other?

PRESS QUOTES

“I was surprised at how well the author was able to handle really touchy, difficult subjects like abortion and racism, all while keeping the audience roaring with laughter.”

-Aimee Bingham Osinski, Chelsea Guardian

“Not to make light of the ongoing culture war that threatens to destroy our 250-year-old democracy, but the latest production at Jeff Daniels’ Purple Rose Theatre is so funny that you can’t help but feel just maybe things are going to turn out alright.”

-Matthew Vande Bunte, MLive
