Mother, May I

Mother, May I

Strand Theater
1823 N. Charles Street Baltimore

This Stanley Drama Award-winning “sad comedy” dives into the screamingly funny and raw-nerve-painful dynamic of a modern American family. Everybody keeps secrets from one another except for the narcissistic and deeply repressed mother, who keeps secrets only from herself—while blithely revealing them to anyone who will listen. Sexuality, finances, and self-esteem are all fair game when the Grunmans get together. Thomas Wolfe was wrong: it’s not that you can’t go home again, it’s that it’s so hard not to. Dylan Brody’s work has been compared to that of Garrison Keillor, David Sedaris, and Woody Allen.
