Night, Mother

Though this was a funny kind of play, I had several moments where I literally wanted to stop & cry. I can't imagine being in her mother's position doing everything she can to stop her daughter from killing herself. & It was weird b/c it wasn't so much that she was depressed but she actually became so complacent with such things, she was prepared to leave. & for most people it's other way around but I also have to remind myself that this is not the world we live in, but it the actor's world. I love that they were able to bond in that way where she was able to ask all these questions about her dad, but I think the mom went wrong for herself saying all those extra things about her having fits as a 5 year old b/c not only did it not help her daughter stay, but the mom brought out emotions thinking it would help & that only made her feel worse that she didn't help.
