Dead Mother, or Shirley Not All in Vain

The story of Dead Mother, or Shirley Not All in Vain is classic farce. Harold got away with impersonating his late mother once, and now he has to do it again, and again, and again. But in the hands of celebrated New York playwright David Greenspan, this comic situation runs through bad marriages, bad acting, Greek myth and the circles of Hell.

Bending genders and theatrical reality along the way Dead Mother is a savagely funny, sharp and haunting 90-minute romp through the confusing layers of identity and family.
