A play in five evictions
Meet Phyllis, the Herman family matriarch, armed with gin and cigarettes, clinging to long-unfulfilled dreams. Her children, Carl and Martha, are on the cusp of adulthood in a rapidly changing America, ready to spread their wings and embrace new freedoms – but they’re not getting away from Mother that easily.
Mother Play is an absurd, funny, and unflinching exploration of family, identity, and the ties that both bind and break us, from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive). A poignant and hilarious new American classic for the 21st century.
Hot off its critically-acclaimed run on Broadway in 2024, Mother Play makes its Aotearoa debut with Silo in 2025 and stars theatre legend, Jennifer Ludlam.
