‘night, Mother

In Marsha Norman’s 1983 Pulitzer Prize-winning play ‘night, Mother, we leap into the lives of mother and daughter, Jessie and Thelma Cates, on what appears to be a typical Saturday night in their quiet existence. But on this night, Jessie asks for her father’s service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. Laced with humour and a bit of the macabre, ‘night, Mother is a searing portrait of a family in crisis. Robert Tsonos directs.
