What would you do if someone you loved could find no reason to go on living? This is Thelma (Mama) Cate's dilemma. Her middle-aged daughter, Jessie, has had enough. An epileptic, unable to hold a job or drive a car, with a failed marriage and a drug-addicted son on the wrong side of the law, Jessie has decided this evening to end her own life. In this gripping and emotionally-compelling drama, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1983, playwright Marsha Norman explores a parent's worst nightmare. Can Thelma convince her daughter that her life is worth living, even when she can't feel or understand Jessie's pain? A poignant, often humorous, and moving portrait of one complex mother-daughter relationship, "'Night, Mother" presents compelling arguments for just how much control we do and should have over our own lives, and how our life choices affect those closest to us.
"...honest, uncompromising, lucid, penetrating, well-written, dramatic and...unmanipulatively moving." -- NY Magazine
