‘Night, Mother is an intense and emotional two person drama about a mother and her suicidal daughter. It is set at the mother’s home, where the daughter lives to take care of her. The entire play is one scene, and an intense conversation that honestly discusses the faults of their lives. 

The one-scene full play model isn’t necessarily my personal favorite, and I don’t love how it almost justifies suicide. However, I do commend it on its honestly and how it handles character driven drama.
