The death of a child is perhaps the greatest loss one can experience. Regardless of the circumstances, their absence is felt long after the sharpest grief fades. But how do those feelings change when one's own child is responsible for the deaths of others? In our story, you'll meet two mothers: one whose young son was killed in a gang shooting, and the other whose son is the bloodthirsty despot of a small African country. Going to St. Ives follows two women who are forced to reconcile motherhood and death from opposite, but no less agonizing, sides. The broadcast includes an interview with playwright Lee Blessing and a piece on notable mother/son relationships in theater.

Theatre Works' radio theater series can also be heard on the following stations (check local listings for broadcast times): 89.7 WGBH, Boston; 91.5 WBEZ, Chicago; 94.9 KUOW, Seattle; 90.1 WABE, Atlanta; 94.1 KPFA, Berkeley; 91.1 KRCB, North Bay (San Francisco); and many other stations nationwide.
