Mater Familias

May 2025, The Tank

World Premiere

Mater Familias tells the story of three generations through increasingly difficult times, as they sometimes help each other, and sometimes clash in order to survive. A powerful drama with exact dialogue and sharply drawn relationships, the play begins with a mother and son’s desperate need to commit a crime in order to allow their family to survive. From there, it moves backward through the decades, as three generations come into focus: their dreams, regrets, and what might have been.
