Matthew Lombardo’s semi-autobiographical comedy traces the relationship between Italian matriarch Maria Collavechio (Caroline Aaron) and her gay son (Matt Doyle) spanning the course of five decades. As they continue to test their lifelong bond, the play depicts the outrageously funny and sometimes completely infuriating dynamic between a domineering mother and her rudderless son.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Conversations With Mother
Playwright Matthew Lombardo, Known for Plays That Focus on Extraordinary Women, Offers Up ‘Conversations with Mother’
7 / 10
Mr. Lombardo’s latest play, “Conversations with Mother,” was inspired by a woman who’s less widely known, though it surely required less research on the part of the playwright, her son. This one-act, semi-autobiographical play introduces us to Bobby Collavechio, also a playwright, whom we meet as an adolescent and follow into middle age, and Maria Collavechio, his aggressively loving Catholic mother.
Lessons learned through a lifelong bond in the hilarious and heartwarming ‘Conversations with Mother’ Off-Broadway at Theater 555
9 / 10
Conversations with Mother is a laugh-out-loud funny, sharply insightful, and deeply touching tribute to the complex, close-knit, cherished connection between a parent and child – specifically here a mom and a gay son – which consummately delivers the over-riding message that Mother knows best, so listen to your mother; if Bobby did, it would have made his life so much easier.
