'night, Mother (Theatre)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })'night, Mother is a 1983 play by Marsha Norman.The only two characters in the play are Jessie Cates and her mother Thelma, aka "Mama". Jessie is in "her late thirties or early forties". Her life has not turned out very well. She's divorced (ex hubby left her for a neighbor's daughter), she's epileptic, and she's living with her mother because her health keeps her from holding a job. Her son is a runaway (whereabouts unknown) drug addled, shiftless petty thief. She's now stuck playing nursemaid to Mama, who takes her for granted.Jessie casually asks for her father's old gun. When she gets it she calmly announces that she will kill herself. Mama doesn't take this very seriously at first, but soon realizes that Jessie is not kidding.Kathy Bates played Jessie in the original production. In 1986 'night, Mother was adapted into a film directed by Tom Moore, starring Sissy Spacek as Jessie and Anne Bancroft as Mama.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
