When Gene breaks his leg after proposing to girlfriend Marisa, he begins to feel some odd changes. It turns out the oyster shell that the doctor left in his leg to assist with his healing is causing him to slowly transition into a female -- just the way an oyster does. Can Gene learn to live his life as a different gender, and will he -- or she -- be able to feel the same for his fiancee?

REVIEWS:

"Consider the Oyster is David MacGregor's terrific new comedy... Some smart producers have an off-Broadway 1,000-plus performance hit ahead of them."

TheaterMania

"Producing heavy belly laughs, [the play] is resoundingly optimistic, proving good friends, and love, are not easily discarded."

Denver Theatre Talk

"Consider the Oyster glimmers like a pearl. MacGregor's dialogue and character development are fresh and delicious."
