The Wayward Stork is a 1966 American stage play by Harry Tugend. [1] [2]
A sterile man asks a doctor to artificially inseminate his wife without her knowledge. The wrong woman is artificially inseminated. And the sterile man learns his wife is pregnant.
The Broadway production starred Robert Cummings and Lois Nettleton and only ran for five performances. A review in The New York Times said Cummings "is not in top form. He sounded a bit hoarse and somewhat strained. Usually he is a quite acceptible[sic], breezy farceur." [3]
