“Empathetic and enjoyable…it all rings utterly true.”
About the Play
Jessie is a frazzled corporate lawyer in a cutthroat Manhattan firm. Lina dropped out of her community college and has a life circumscribed by her working class roots on Long Island.
The two newly minted moms share one thing in common — they are both feeling isolated and trapped at home with their new babies.
In the yard between their houses — as far as their baby monitors will reach — they bond over sleep deprivation, unreliable childcare and “having it all.”
Cry It Out is a smart and candid comedy about parenthood and class in America today — and the hard choices all mothers make.
(Please note: this special summer offering is not included in a BETC subscription.)
Run Time
Cry It Out is expected to run approximately 90 minutes, with no intermission.
