Thursday, May 8th is opening night for SpeakEasy Stage Company’s latest play, Mothers & Sons, a timely and touching new play about love, loss, and family, written by Terrence McNally. This 2014 Tony Nominee for Best Play, follows Dallas matriarch Katharine Gerard on a sudden trip to New York to meet with her late son’s former partner Cal, who is now married to another man and raising a young son. Katherine Gerard who is still coping with the loss and of her son is challenged by Cal to consider the life her son might have led and how society has changed around her.
I have been waiting for this show all season since SpeakEasy Stage Co. first announced this in their 2014-15 line up. I fully expect I’ll need to bring Kleenex to get through some scenes but will power through all the same and I hope you will too. This is the New England premiere from one of Boston’s best theater companies.
Get your tickets today. Mothers & Sons runs from May 8 – June 6, 2015.
