“a powerful and harrowing drama” ~Portland Press Herald

“Adolescence, masculinity, and gender scripts are among the many lenses ‘The Mother’ very acutely employs to explore school shootings, along with nature-versus-nurture, cultural representations of death, parents in Shakespeare, the observer effect in physics, the media, the systems described in Arendt’s “banality of evil” concept, and everything that mothers have been blamed for – homosexuality, autism, etc. – over the years. ~Portland Phoenix

“Devastating and exhilarating in its relentless truth-telling, shining a light on our culture of violence and its consistent mother-blaming as a coping skill.” ~ Abigail Killeen, creator/producer of Babette’s Feast (Theatre at St. Clement’s, NYC)

THE MOTHER is a 2018 and 2019 Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center National Playwright’s Conference Semi-finalist.
