Diversifications

DiversificationsT1657657505
Diversifications is a female centric play, about three women who meet while waiting to receive the results of their genetic testing for cancer. Since the doctor is running late, they start talking and soon realise that each of them has something that the other one craves: children, career, freedom. By the end of their encounter, they all decide to walk out of the clinic without getting their results. Playing ‘genetic roulette', they start living by new rules and follow their dreams. Sadly, for each of them, their decision has dire consequences. A year after they have passed, their husbands/partners meet to try and understand the logic behind their spontaneous but irresponsible decision. The play is structured as a 'back and forth' of opinions; male versus female perspective on marriage, love and parenthood. This is a heart-warming story about tough life choices, love and forgiveness.

User Review: 17Jun22: Such an incredibly beautiful show, the cast moved me to tears throughout but had me chuckling with my next breath, clever, thought provoking and so human. I found this show to be life affirming and loved engaging in the debate it brings out in audiences after the show. If in the same position, would you make different choices? Are you living the life you most desire?
