How well do we know the ones we love most?
Four decades after its astonishing debut, Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning darkly comic landmark drama returns in a new, of-the-moment production. When a daughter makes a life-altering confession to her mother, their ordinary evening exchange gives way to a breathtaking roller coaster ride—gripping, profoundly relevant and “more harrowing than even its plot suggests” (The New York Times). With unblinking honesty, Emmy Award-winner Michael Pressman directs this profound reckoning about choice, care and what it means to be truly heard.
