David's Mother
by Bob Randall
What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the balance between emotional depth and realism in the play. They find it avoids becoming overly sentimental while addressing difficult themes.
Synopsis
The award winning author of 6 Rms Riv Vu .
The Fan and Kate & Allie delves into the nature of laughter and pain in this, his most telling play.
There is a once in a lifetime bravura role in Sally, the mother of a mentally handicapped boy who uses her wickedly funny tongue to hold at bay a world that has the legal right, and intention, of taking him from her.
The play moves gracefully from the present to the past and back again, from a crumbling marriage with her true love to a final chance at happiness with a doting suitor.
This laugh out loud, cry out loud play is the basis for a CBS motion picture.
