Loomer\u2019s two-act play is an updated dramatization of 1973\u2019s Roe v.

The drama also depicts the actual historical figures who played leading roles in the abortion rights struggle \u2013 Jane Roe aka Norma McCorvey (Kate Middleton) and the attorney who represented her before the Supreme Court, Sarah Weddington (Christina Hall) \u2013 as well as other personalities also associated with the groundbreaking case and personages, ranging from attorney Gloria Allred (Aleisha Force) to producer Fred Friendly (John Achorn) to Operation Rescue\u2019s Rev.
