The show is about a woman who gets pregnant from a one-night stand and decides to end the life of her preborn child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To rival the bizarre pro-abortion show at the Studio Theater, the producers of the pro-life film &#8220;Gosnell,&#8221; are planning to stage an off-Broadway rival, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/unreportedstorysociety.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-qtlltid-l-r\/\">Oh Gosnell: The Truth about Abortion<\/a>,&#8221; written by Irish playwright and producer Phelim McAleer. The story recounts the horrific story of a Philadelphia abortionist who brutally ended the lives of preborn children, and even those born alive as a result of botched abortions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is Verbatim Theater in that the script only uses court or Grand Jury transcripts to weave together a story about the investigation and conviction of Kermit Gosnell the Philadelphia abortion doctor who was convicted of multiple murders in 2013,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/unreportedstorysociety.createsend1.com\/t\/ViewEmail\/t\/C2B6F5F9976789BB2540EF23F30FEDED\">the Underreported Society reports<\/a>. \u201cVerbatim Theater is a British tradition of using dramatic court cases or sworn inquiries as the basis of a drama script. McAleer has popularized it in America \u2013 leading to protests and dramatic walkouts by actors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/gosnell-movie-caused-pro-life\/\">\u2018Gosnell\u2019 movie \u2018singlehandedly\u2019 caused media entrepreneur to become pro-life<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMcAleer and his wife Ann McElhinney have covered the Gosnell story extensively.
