LANDMARK: Lisa Loomer's play depicts the history of one of America's most important cases.
In 1973, the landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade legalized abortion across the country. Yet, in 2022, women still have to put in so much work to have a voice over their bodily autonomy. Now, nearly 50 years later, the Los Altos Stage Company aims to show how vital Roe remains today. In her latest, writer Lisa Loomer brings to light the contradictory life experiences of lawyer Sarah Weddington and plaintiff Norma McCorvey. Through their journeys, viewers see both humor and heartache in how America looked post-Roe, and see for themselves just how much (or little) has changed.
