Rachel Bublitz’s dark comedy ‘Funny, Like an Abortion’ is part of the Playground Festival of new works.
“I make a lot of jokes that are incredibly offensive,” says playwright Rachel Bublitz of her new work “Funny, Like an Abortion.” “But I feel like the dire humor has to match the dire circumstances.”The new play by writer Rachel Bublitz, “Funny, Like an Abortion,” is a wild and sobering comedy about two women exploring dangerous at-home solutions in a dystopian United States future in which abortion has been outlawed.
Just a few hours after we discussed Bublitz’s play on Monday, May 2, a Supreme Court opinion draft leaked, indicating that a court majority was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and re-open the floodgates for state and federal abortion bans. Even being able to see this coming, Bublitz noted that the speed with which the anti-abortion movement has rushed to turn back the clock on decades of social progress has been alarming.
