Through Sawyer, a pregnant 24-year-old academic yearning for a place in law school, and a queer couple going through “hell and back” to become mothers and raise a baby, the playwright explores contrasting personalities and societal expectations. “I didn't see a lot of comedies and positive shows about queer families,” she said. “I find quite often that queer characters are either struggling with their identity or homophobia. Those things definitely exist, but I thought it was also important for me to show queer joy and the positive sides: adoption and creating a family, finding and creating your own found family.
