Suicide leaves those left behind with more questions than answers. Why someone would take their own life is something that begs an answer, but rarely is there satisfaction in the answers we find. The play 'Night, Mother,  written by Pulitzer Prize winner, Marsha Norman explores the landscape of suicide in an intimate and revealing way.

'night, Mother is a taut and fluid drama that addresses different emotions and special relations. By one of America's most talented playwrights, this play won the Dramatists Guild's prestigious Hull-Warriner Award, four Tony nominations, the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, and the Pulitzer Prize in 1983.

'night, Mother had its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in December 1982. It opened on Broadway in March 1983, directed by Tom Moore and starring Anne Pitoniak and Kathy Bates; a film, starring Anne Bancroft and Sissy Spacek, was released in 1986.
