Drama
Directed by James P. Darvas
March 2 - 25, 2018

Lamplighters presents a non-traditional depiction of a classic, Pulitzer-Prize-winning play re-imagined by director James P. Darvas.

​This multi-award-winning play centers around Jessie, a middle-aged, down-on-her-luck woman who moves back in with her mom. As mother and daughter spend a high-stakes evening together, the ensuing debate ultimately gives rise to some of our deepest, most personal questions about how and why we value life. 'Night, Mother, Marsha Norman's explosive 1983 play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was nominated for four Tony Awards, including Best Play.

"…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.
