Ann and Me: or the big bad abortion play
Winner of the 2023 United Solo Festival for “Best Storyteller”.
Written and Performed by Jessica Bashline
Directed by Margaret M Ledford
Jessica is a middle-aged, middle-income, mostly average white lady — who has had abortions. And those abortions led her to study the history of abortion in the United States — because she’s a bit of a nerd. And then she wrote a really big play about Ann Lohman — an Abortionist in the 1800’s and an all-around badass! And she thought that the abortion chapter of her life was closed, she was almost menopausal after all... But then came Dobbs. Jessica realized that having written a play about the history of legal abortion in the United States made her an expert in a niche part of legal history that was all of a sudden very important.
