Jayne Houdyshell, Natalia Zvereva, Barret O’Brien, and Greg Keller will perform in a reading of selections from Rob Urbinati’s Mama’s Boy: The Woman Behind the Man who Killed Kennedy at Theatre Row on December 6 at 7pm. David McCallum will direct the performance, which is part of the New Group’s “Dark Nights” series.

Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother Marguerite takes center stage in this play, which is based in part on Marguerite Oswald’s testimony before the Warren Commission, and on events between mother and son in the two years leading up to and just following the assassination of JFK. The performance will be accompanied by a discussion of the context and issues raised by the play, with a special expert guest to be announced.
