Though Carl Djerassi spent most of his career in a lab coat — as one of the chemists behind the first oral contraceptive, he could even be described as the "Father of the Pill" — he has spent the past 15 years as a successful novelist and playwright. His play Three on a Couch is an absurdist parody of artistic narcissism, psychoanalysis, and marital obsession. The story follows a self-absorbed writer who fakes his own death in an ill-conceived attempt at posthumous canonization; the resulting banter among the writer, his perpetually anxious analyst, and his boisterous widow is both intellectually provocative and hilarious.
