Night Mother
In 1979, Marsha was to do her first produced play about a female prisoner who returns to Kentucky, where he had been born. This story and play are related to past mistakes being used against the female in her future challenges, reminding her of her mistakes. As powerful as it is, I've had my own life experience with this type of story of a family member not being healthy enough to forget the past and it intruding in their every day to day conversations. -
