SUPREME COURT LOOMS IN ROE’S SHADOW

In the case of Roe versus Wade, still hotly debated on all sides in the even-more-polarized world that we live in, the law of the land still stands after nearly 50 years. How we got here, from where, and the journey taken by two of the central people involved make up the gritty stuff of Lisa Loomer’s remarkably complex and intriguing “ROE,” now playing in the Albert Theatre at Goodman. As directed by Vanessa Stalling, the play is of-the- moment and could certainly change should the Supreme Court take the case and overrule the decision that upheld women’s right to choose an abortion.
