It’s 2028 in the USA and Lauren has been detained for having an abortion. Melissa Ainsworth’s new play The End is Near looks at society’s centuries' old determination to control women. As the rights gained through past suffering and protest are increasingly threatened and eroded, Ainsworth’s powerful writing shakes us awake and reminds us that the time to act is now.
