Piece Comment

Review of Finding My Ma


A very young woman talks frankly to her mother, who has had some very troubled relationships - I was interested in their stories - I found the daughter amazngly level-headed and the mother engaging - I wanted to know more about them - like many youth-produced pieces, it begs for context. What did she know before? What parts were a surprise? Who are they? Where do they live? What are their ages? For me, the questions go on and on - and in that way the piece becomes incomplete - a longer program where several daughters do this kind of interview might be one idea.
