'night, Mother
New Century Theatre
615 Hennepin Avenue Minneapolis
Marsha Norman's explosive, eloquent and enthralling 1983 play was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play. An enormously acclaimed two-person play, 'night, Mother 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 in order to stop her.

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Recommended
"...There is a stirring, melancholy humanity in Matt Greseth's direction, which juxtaposes the mundane, everyday with a larger catastrophic arc. It makes suicide become concrete and real, in spite of our urge to reject it as an act and deny it as a possibility -- and it opens the door a crack into the dark room of depression."
