The Stork Clinic

A Nordic chamber larp about hope, anxiety, judgment, and fertility

Setting

The Stork Clinic has the highest success rate of any fertility clinic in town. Patients travel from all over the country to meet with Dr. Cline and realize their dreams of a healthy little bundle of joy. The clinic offers a variety of services from traditional hormone therapies and IVF to various gene therapies and the happy parents who refer friends, family, and coworkers specifically note Dr. Cline’s competence and professionalism of the staff.

The larp finds seven patients in Dr. Cline’s waiting room. Each of them has been undergoing the ups and downs, twists and turns, hopes and disappointments of fertility treatments for a while yet largely remains hopeful that their time will come. This appointment is the last one before the birthing-parents-to-be have a round of IVF (in-vitro fertilization); for some, this is not the first time they try IVF. They have already undergone their physical examination and now everyone is waiting for their face-to-face with Dr. Cline to discuss the results and next steps. They’ll be called in to the doctor’s office in couples for a private meeting and will then return to the waiting room to wait for their new treatment plans. While waiting, they fill out a simple questionnaire and talk with their partners and each other.
