Predictor by Jennifer Blackmer tells the remarkable true story of Margaret “Meg” Crane, the woman who invented the first home pregnancy test in 1967. What began as a simple idea in a pharmaceutical lab became a revolutionary tool that gave women privacy, autonomy, and answers in their own homes.
This sharp, funny, and surreal new play takes audiences inside Meg’s whirlwind of imagination and determination as she battles corporate resistance, societal expectations, and her own doubts. Moving fluidly through past, present, and future, Predictor is both an absurdist comic romp and a heartfelt exploration of what it means to fight for agency in a world determined to silence you.
