In the mid-'60s, Dr. George Papanicolaou invented the Pap smear, saving many lives but creating moral dilemmas in the process. In this frank and feminist play, good-humored Dr. Pap has great mysteries to unravel and a bright assistant with dark secrets to hide.
Nan, and the Lower Body (The Pap Smear Play) was originally commissioned by the Manhattan Theatre Club, with funds provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
