ABOUT 'NIGHT MOTHER:
The scene is the living room/kitchen of a small house on an isolated
country road, which is shared by Jessie and her mother. Jessie's father is
dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty
thief and ne'er-do-well; her last job didn't work out and, in general, her
life is stale and unprofitable. As the play begins Jessie asks for her
father's service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill
herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie
sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after,
her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build. In the end, with the
inexorability of genuine tragedy, she can only stand by, stunned and
unbelieving, as Jessie quietly closes and locks her bedroom door and ends
her profound unhappiness in one fatal, stunning and deeply disturbing
moment—a moment never to be forgotten by those who have witnessed, and come
to understand, her plight.
