MISCONCEPTION by Bill Dare
Two old friends and one woman who needs to conceive - tonight. In this comedy of moral confusion love, parenthood, sex and friendship are examined by a comedy writer at the top of his game. Laced with wit and humour, the drama twists and turns in compelling fashion, and the laughs come thick and fast.
