One of entertainment’s long-time journeywomen,  Rosalind Adler has had a dabble with theatre this time round & produced a curious play about man becoming pregnant. This ‘miracle’ occurred just as the roles had been reversed in his marriage, with his wife having become the chief bread winner. These are the only actors in the play, which revolves around their bickering & tenderness. We in the audience have obtained a big brother like window into their lives, & are treat to a glut of emotional moods as the tensions of a modern relationship are played out before us. Sometimes funny, sometimes awkward, it is a very real play from a very real voice, & watchable show to boot THREE STARS
