'Night, Mother is Marsha Norman's play that won the Pulitzer for drama in 1983. Produced the year after Beth Henley won the Pulitzer for Crimes of the Heart, the two women ushered in a renaissance of Southern female play writing. Chilling in its message and delivered with no intermission, 'Night, Mother tells the tale of a mother and daughter grappling to stay afloat in life.
Forty-year-old Jessie Cates has battled epilepsy, mental illness, and depression for her entire life. Following her latest episode a year earlier which resulted in her husband Cecil leaving and divorcing her, Jessie has moved back home with her mother Thelma. Even though Jessie diligently catalogues ever item the pair owns, it appears that she has finally turned the corner in her life.
Widowed Thelma has come to terms with the fact that she and her husband never loved each other all that much. A woman growing old in an sprawling house, Thelma needs Jessie's companionship and caregiving as much as Jessie needs her. Yet, Jessie was always more like her father, from her interests in fishing and horseback riding to her genetic makeup that is the root cause of her epileptic seizures. As a result, the pair was never as close as mothers and daughters should be.
In this short, powerful play, Jessie tells her mother that she is not only contemplating suicide, but that she is about to do it. Both women have baggage lasting for their entire lives, and Thelma in desperation, attempts to talk Jessie out of it. In her tale of Southern grit, Norman brings issues like mental health diseases and suicide to a forefront at a time when society was first becoming aware of the issues at large. First starring Kathy Bates as Jessie, 'Night, Mother most likely delivered as chilling a performance to its initial audience as it does in printed form.
Having read many Pulitzer winning plays this year, I rate 'Night, Mother highly, both for its genre of female Southern grit and its message about mental health awareness. A chilling story that runs the gamut of human emotions, I would be interested in seeing a playhouse production of this tale. Even though I prefer charming Southern stories to the grittiness, I rate Marsha Norman's play 4 stars for its grit and rawness.

'night, Mother, Marsha Norman
'night, Mother is a play by American playwright Marsha Norman. The play won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play.
The play is about a daughter, Jessie, and her mother, Thelma.
It begins with Jessie calmly telling her Mama that by morning she will be dead, as she plans to commit suicide that very evening.
The subsequent dialogue between Jessie and Mama slowly reveals her reasons for her decision, her life with Mama, and how thoroughly she has planned her own death, culminating in a disturbing, yet unavoidable, climax.

In my youth, I had a strange list of comfort films that I would turn to both when I was happy or feeling blue. My mom never understood why I gravitated to A Trip to Bountiful, Mrs. Brown, Remains of the Day, and my special favorite 鈥榥ight, Mother. I鈥檓 sure a part of me likes 鈥渟ad鈥� things, but I think that even as a youngster, I鈥檝e always been attracted to simplistic beauty that is both deep and meaningful. It鈥檚 hard to marry these elements, especially in literature and film, but when I come across them, I have to snatch them up!
I am currently reading a literary thriller wherein the victim was murdered in such a way as to call in to question whether it was self-administered. When perusing the victim鈥檚 bedroom, the uncanny order of the closets lead one of the detectives to question whether the victim had 鈥渁rranged鈥� things in preparation for death, as is common with many people contemplating suicide. I couldn鈥檛 help but remember 鈥榥ight, Mother, which I had no idea was a play鈥攆urther yet, that it garnered the Pulitzer Prize in 1983.
A one-act play spanning a few hours, this quite simply is the story of a woman, Jessie, preparing for her death, and her candid, endearing conversation with her mother, who desperately tries to both understand and dissuade her daughter from taking her life. It is such a beautifully written play, and though it鈥檚 heavy in scope, I never felt overwhelmed. You find yourself playing the devil鈥檚 advocate for both sides, as you鈥檙e forced to see how life and its disappointments can snub the life force out of some people who are too 鈥済ood鈥� for all of the bad out there.
I think the line that just made me lose it was the following, and even reading it now, it just gets to my core!

This brilliant Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Marsha Norman examines the conflict between the will to survive and the choice not to. The original Broadway production made a star of Kathy Bates as the suicidal woman who spends an evening preparing her mother for her departure. This is a riveting script.

Truly one of my favorite stories of all times. I cry every time I read it. I also wrote a 30-page paper on it, so I think it is fair to call me obsessed. It's a play, so you can easily read it in one sitting...just not on mother's day. :o)

Remember word problems in math class? Hellish, weren't they? That's this play.
Forget trains going across America from two different directions and meeting in Chicago. The only movement in this case is the relay of words between a daughter and mother. The former wants to kill herself. The latter can't believe her ears.
If a = the daughter and b = the mother, explain how a + b = b.
Answers are in the pages of this remarkable drama.

I have been into a deep reading slump for nearly a month. I tried getting back to reading, but my attention was scattered and I couldn't focus. Today, I tried reading a play, and I'm happy to report that it finally worked. Hopefully I'm back :)
I discovered Marsha Norman's "'night, Mother" in a literary anthology that I have. I read her potted biography at the beginning of the play and found it very fascinating. I finally got around to reading the play today.
Jessie's mother is trying to take out a cupcake from the kitchen cabinet. She calls Jessie to ask her something. Jessie enters the room. Jessie seems to be cleaning up something elsewhere in the house. Jessie and her mother start talking. At one point Jessie asks her mother where her father's gun was kept. Jessie's mother tells her that it is in a box in the attic. Jessie goes and gets it. Her mother asks her why she needs the gun. Jessie tells her why. At this point, I have to stop and ponder on whether I should tell you why. I don't want to spoil the surprise and so I won't, and I will skirt around this. Her mother thinks that Jessie is joking, but when she realizes that Jessie is serious, she tries to talk Jessie out of it and uses every kind of stalling tactic to buy time. The rest of the play is a long conversation between Jessie and her mother. What Jessie is planning to do, and whether she succeeds in it or whether her mother succeeds in preventing her is told the rest of the story.
"'night, Mother" is a play which grabs your attention from the first line of dialogue and never lets go till the end. The story is intense, the dialogue is crisp and sharp and amazing and asks all the big questions in beautiful everyday ways, and as the play hurtles towards its denouement, our heart starts beating harder. It is haunting and heartbreaking. I cried when I read the last page.
I loved "'night, Mother". It is a haunting book. I am so glad I discovered Marsha Norman. I haven't heard of many women playwrights before. I haven't read any before (except for a short 10-page play by Wendy Wasserstein). When we talk about 20th century playwrights after the Second World War, the typical names that are mentioned are Tennessee Williams, Harold Pinter, Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett, Arthur Miller 鈥� all men. Women playwrights seem to be rarer than rare birds. It is odd. The reason might be that there are not many women playwrights around, or they are there, but they are not getting enough visibility. I think it is probably a combination of both, but I also feel that it is more the first than the second. If we do a simple test, we can discover this. If we pick a contemporary poetry anthology, we'll find that half the poets featured are women. But if we pick an anthology of plays, we'll be lucky to see even one play by a woman playwright. I don't know why things are the way they are. But I am very happy to discover that there are amazing women playwrights out there, and Marsha Norman is among them. "'night, Mother' is one of the great plays I've ever read. It won the Pulitzer when it first came out, was successfully performed in Broadway, and was adapted into a movie starring Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft. I hope to watch the movie sometime. I can't wait to read more plays by Marsha Norman.
Have you read "'night, Mother"? What do you think about it? Have you read plays by women playwrights? Who are your favourites? Please give me some recommendations.
I discovered Marsha Norman's "'night, Mother" in a literary anthology that I have. I read her potted biography at the beginning of the play and found it very fascinating. I finally got around to reading the play today.
Jessie's mother is trying to take out a cupcake from the kitchen cabinet. She calls Jessie to ask her something. Jessie enters the room. Jessie seems to be cleaning up something elsewhere in the house. Jessie and her mother start talking. At one point Jessie asks her mother where her father's gun was kept. Jessie's mother tells her that it is in a box in the attic. Jessie goes and gets it. Her mother asks her why she needs the gun. Jessie tells her why. At this point, I have to stop and ponder on whether I should tell you why. I don't want to spoil the surprise and so I won't, and I will skirt around this. Her mother thinks that Jessie is joking, but when she realizes that Jessie is serious, she tries to talk Jessie out of it and uses every kind of stalling tactic to buy time. The rest of the play is a long conversation between Jessie and her mother. What Jessie is planning to do, and whether she succeeds in it or whether her mother succeeds in preventing her is told the rest of the story.
"'night, Mother" is a play which grabs your attention from the first line of dialogue and never lets go till the end. The story is intense, the dialogue is crisp and sharp and amazing and asks all the big questions in beautiful everyday ways, and as the play hurtles towards its denouement, our heart starts beating harder. It is haunting and heartbreaking. I cried when I read the last page.
I loved "'night, Mother". It is a haunting book. I am so glad I discovered Marsha Norman. I haven't heard of many women playwrights before. I haven't read any before (except for a short 10-page play by Wendy Wasserstein). When we talk about 20th century playwrights after the Second World War, the typical names that are mentioned are Tennessee Williams, Harold Pinter, Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett, Arthur Miller 鈥� all men. Women playwrights seem to be rarer than rare birds. It is odd. The reason might be that there are not many women playwrights around, or they are there, but they are not getting enough visibility. I think it is probably a combination of both, but I also feel that it is more the first than the second. If we do a simple test, we can discover this. If we pick a contemporary poetry anthology, we'll find that half the poets featured are women. But if we pick an anthology of plays, we'll be lucky to see even one play by a woman playwright. I don't know why things are the way they are. But I am very happy to discover that there are amazing women playwrights out there, and Marsha Norman is among them. "'night, Mother' is one of the great plays I've ever read. It won the Pulitzer when it first came out, was successfully performed in Broadway, and was adapted into a movie starring Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft. I hope to watch the movie sometime. I can't wait to read more plays by Marsha Norman.

Summary
Jessie is tired. She's tired of her life, of disappointment, or heart-aches, and fight. Jessie wants to die. Recently divorced, Jessie has moved back in with her widowed mother, along with her wild-child teenage son. On a lonely night, Jessie shares her death plan with her mother, and there begins the play as her mother tries everything she can to get Jessie to change her mind.
Review
This play left me speechless. Norman did a great job writing on such a heavy and sensitive subject of suicide. I was not expecting that. I felt like it was an honest reflection of someone who is determined to end their life. It feels weird to say, but I loved this play. It is really good. It's dark yet honest, and very raw.

Years ago I saw part of the movie version of this play starring Sissy Spasek and Anne Bancroft. Just the little bit I watched has stayed with me after a good 20 years or so.
'night Mother is a play about a woman named Jessie who tells her mother she has decided to commit suicide. Jessie lists out her reasons and her mother tries to get her to change her mind. The dialog is painful and harrowing and packs quite a punch. If reading this had such an impact on me I can only imagine what it must have been like to see it live.

I have been fascinated by this story since I was just a little girl . It asks a lot of pertinent questions forcing the reader to think about things we usually push away to the back of our minds although one day we will have to face them anyway. It 's also just such a major tear jerker and so suspenseful too. I do love this one. Reading it as an adult was much different for me as it was when I was 10 years of age but still, I recall the same feelings and the same questions being raised in my own young mind about life and just how it can get to you, people and how the ones we love let us down the most even when it's the very last thing they intended to do, and about choices- and of course the big question of life after death. Yes I give this one 3.5 stars -- no wait -- 4 stars for originality.

Terse, tense, and always timely, Marsha Norman's play reaches down into the depth of despair to reveal the stark reality of a dream lost and a life left unlived. Set in anyhome, and anytown, the play takes an unflinching look at the choice to die vs. the desire to live through the eyes of Jessie, an epileptic woman in her late 30's - whose life has remained vague, despite her wish for otherwise. Her mother, a matter-of-fact older woman, must come to face to face with the truth despite her wish to gloss it over as she battles her own mortality. In the end, Norman gives us a play of pure power that is crowded with meaning and yet, stark in its solitude.
Powerful and poignant, whether it is read or performed.

I went into this book knowing nothing about it. I didn't look it up or read the back, and wow did it take me by surprise. At 8 pages in it took a turn that hooked me. The play shows you a relationship between a mother and a daughter, and how their dynamic changes over a course of an evening. It is not for everyone as it deals with darker subjects but shows that life choices are made by a compilation of your past ones.

Much of the play felt amateurishly calculated and redundant. The integration of the characters' history through dialogue was clumsily cobbled between spurts of the mother's protests and felt canned. The writing almost seems like an acting exercise of clear objectives and tactics that would be useful for scene work except it carries on for too long to remain interesting. The tactics and literary devices are so unsubtle the play reads like an amateur trying to write a play about suicide but only digging at the surface level. It's overall message seems to be that suicide is a necessary avenue for people with certain first world problems and that those preventing them that are in the wrong and should be convinced otherwise.

Review seen here:
This is one of those plays where the acting would have to be absolutely stellar. It's all tension. It's about a woman, Jessie, who very calmly goes about her day and tells her mother she is going to kill herself. It's very dark. Norman does an excellent job creating these characters and revealing their stories. There are only two characters in this play, which as I said, heightens the tension. There is no intermission, and you absolutely MUST read this in one sitting, no interruptions. 5/5

And we hear the shot, and it sounds like an answer, it sounds like No.

Mama (Coming over, now, taking over now): What are you doing?
Jessie: The barrel has to be clean, Mama. Old powder, dust gets in it. . .
Mama: What for?
Jessie: I told you.
Mama (Reaching for the gun): And I told you, we don't get criminals out here.
Jessie (Quickly pulling it to her): And I told you. . .(Then trying to be calm) The gun is for me.
Mama: Well, you can have it if you want. When I die, you'll get it all, anyway.
Jessie: I'm going to kill myself, Mama.
Mama (Returning to the sofa): Very funny. Very funny.
Jessie: I am.
Mama: You are not! Don't even say such a thing, Jessie.
Jessie: How would you know if I didn't say it? You want it to be a surprise?
Winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for drama, Marsha Norman's 'night, Mother is a claustrophobic play about a daughter telling her mother she will be committing suicide that night and the conversations which ensue. Without any intermissions or acts or parts, it's a nonstop build of intensity and despair. As a reader/viewer, we ask ourselves: How mentally ill is Jessie? What is wrong with Thelma, her mother?
While the pacing in unrelenting, I marvel at Norman's ability to dramatize Jessie's decision and have Jessie defend her choice of suicide over continued existence. This aspect of the play makes it somewhat dangerous as drama, since a potential viewer/reader can be beguiled by Jessie's rebellious stance, believing Jessie makes more sense than her mother. But she doesn't...right?
It's a tough play to digest. The conversations seem real, the setting seems real and common. Life--especially for Jessie--really sucks. But is this the proper response?
'night, Mother is a harrowing yet provocative glimpse into mental illness and suicide. It's a play not easily digested, not easily forgotten.

Good play, sad story, not very famous in Iran but it's been on stage twice, different times.

This Pulitzer prize winning play is stunningly good. I was in tears as I turned the final pages.
Unless you are concerned about trigger warnings, I'd suggest reading it in one sitting and knowing as little as possible going in.
I've requested the movie adaptation starring Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft and will watch it when I feel strong enough to do so.
