"'night, Mother"

Powerful, Pulitzer-Winning Drama: "'night, Mother"

Marsha Norman's explosive, eloquent and enthralling "'night, Mother" was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play. The two-person play centers around Jessie, a middle-aged, epileptic woman who moves back in with her mother. As mother and daughter spend a high-stakes evening together, the ensuing debate -- sometimes quiet, sometimes tempestuous -- ultimately gives rise to our deepest, most personal questions about how and why we value life. Because, you see, Jessie has decided that life is no longer worth living -- and as she prepares for her own death, her mother will try anything she can to stop her.
