'night, Mother
by Marsha Norman
directed by Suzanne Beal
featuring Valerie Lash as Thelma (mother) and Erin Klarner as Jesse
Performance Dates: May 26 - June 11, 2023
Fri & Sat at 8pm; Sun at 2pm
The scene is the living room/kitchen of a small house on an isolated country road, which is shared by Jessie and her mother. Jessie’s father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne’er-do-well; her last job didn’t work out and, in general, her life is stale and unprofitable.
As the play begins Jessie asks for her father’s service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after, her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build.
