The Francis Marion University Theatre's 2014-15 season's final production will be Marsha Norman's 1983 Pulitzer Prize winning play, 'night, Mother, directed by professor Glen Gourley. It will be performed in the Fine Arts Theater in Hyman Fine Arts Center on campus.
This eloquent, enthralling and ultimately shattering play explores the final hour in the life of Jessie, a young woman who has decided that life is no longer worth living.
"…honest, uncompromising, lucid, penetrating, well-written, dramatic, and…unmanipulatively moving…" —NY Magazine.
"It is sparse and concise, introspective and penetrating, powerful and uncompromising, intense and intelligent, warm and theatrical. It is THE American tragedy." —New England Entertainment Digest.
"Something I hadn't seen in a long time happened at 'NIGHT, MOTHER: The audience still sat applauding after the house lights came up, as if waiting for the cast to come round and join them." —Village Voice.
"…a shattering evening…" —NY Times.
