This unit set is comprised of a simple constructivist structure surrounding the central bedroom area in which the stories of all three couples play out. Multiple levels along with a semi-circular promenade at the downstage edge provide various performance areas, allowing the director to unite or divide the space as he deems fit in composing each scene.
In a college town, the stories of three different couples intersect as they each deal with the unique joys, challenges, and consequences of being pregnant.
