Life has been difficult for Jessie and her hope for the future has faded. Spiraling between a failed marriage and caretaker fatigue due to her criminal son and aging mother, Jessie is determined to take control of her life in the only way left to her. When society and technology isolate Jessie, when the world turns to chaos around her and a promised future fades away: Jessie digs up her father’s old pistol with the intention to end her life. Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play launches audiences through a mother and daughter’s darkest night together.
