This is Kylie’s play about her dad. He invented modern IVF. His name is Alan Trounson. Alan and Kylie are some of the characters, both famous and ordinary, that grapple here with the nature of conception, the science of creation and what it feels like not to conceive at all. Kylie recalls her childhood memories – the death threats, the sign out the front of the convent that said ‘Alan Trounson is a baby murderer’ – to have us marvelling at our biology and the limitless power of our imaginations.
