'night, Mother by Marsha Norman

4.0

Not for the faint of heart. This story is heartbreaking from beginning to end, but that is why it is so good. It's so well done--so uniquely done--and so accurate all throughout. The characterization of Jessie and Mama makes them real people that you can imagine fighting for survival in the real world. And that's where the pain comes from. I don't want to give any spoilers (the back of the play pulls that off pretty well), but I whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone who goes to the theatre to feel things. To feel everything.
