ABOUT THE SHOW

Nominated for four Tony Awards and winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 'night, Mother is an eloquent, enthralling and ultimately shattering play that explores the final hours in the life of a woman who has decided that life is no longer worth living.

Directed by Scott Plate, this play tells the story of Jessie, an epileptic woman in her 40s who systematically prepares for her own death - and the frantic and touching efforts of her mother, Thelma, to stop her. "With humor, wisdom and keen insight, 'night, Mother celebrates the glory of the commonplace," remarks Plate.  "Two seemingly ordinary women, mother and daughter, come to grips with the value of their own lives, and express what many of us have felt at one time or another: why am I here?"

'night, Mother marks the return of Cleveland's grand dame of theater Dorothy Silver as Thelma, and the award-winning Laura Perrotta as Jessie. Silver returns to Beck Center after her acclaimed performance in the regional premiere of Eric Coble's The Velocity of Autumn. Perrotta returns to Beck Center after being named "Best Actress in a Non-Musical" in 2012 by the Cleveland Critics Circle for her role as the cunning Hollywood agent Diane in The Little Dog Laughed. Perrotta appears courtesy of the Actors' Equity Association (AEA), the union of actors and stage managers.

Tickets for 'night, Mother are $29 for adults, $26 for seniors (65 and older), and $12 for students (with valid ID). An additional $3 service fee per ticket is applied at the time of purchase. Preview Night on Thursday, March 20, is $10 with general admission seating. Group discounts are available for parties of 13 or more. Purchase tickets online at beckcenter.org<http://www.beckcenter.org/> or call Customer Service at 216.521.2540 x10. Beck Center is located at 17801 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, just ten minutes west of downtown Cleveland. Free onsite parking is available.

Beck Center's production of 'night, Mother is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
