Adapted from the play, the screenplay is about the remarkable true story of Mary Toft, a poor, illiterate woman who, in 1726, in the Village of Godalming in the County of Surrey, England, convinced half of England, including the most prominent doctors of their day, that she had given birth to rabbits.

"What a strange and lovely -- if I can use that term -- play.  It has an authentic and dramatic flair, thoroughly distinct characters, and a wonderful tone that resists the temptation to comment on its own outrageousness.  [The play] captures an atmosphere that is startlingly idiosyncratic, and it finds a dramatic expression of what I suspect may be profound value questions about what it takes to make a go of things in this life.”  - Shepard Sobel, The Pearl Theatre Company

“[W]e had a lot of fun with this play and it was seriously considered for inclusion up to the end.  Eventually, it was decided that it was a bit too graphic sexually, and a bit too ‘gross’ for our audiences here in Orlando.  But it is really a fun piece.”  - Patrick Flick, Orlando Shakespeare Festival

"The play’s premise is fascinating and bizarre, and the writer has crafted a funny, sly and contemporary satire out of the material.”  - Tanya Palmer, The Goodman Theatre
