The subjects are suicide, love, and the meaning of life--as huge as they come; but they are treated with the specificity of threading a needle or choosing the right breakfast for your needs. Humor and pathos pop up as naturally as wild flowers or fences by the roadside; there is devastating psychological accuracy and nothing seems contrived; and there is that bustle of minutely perceived existential details that bespeak the master. "John Simon, New York"
Ever since I first read "'night, Mother "it has filled me with the kind of exaltation I experience only in the presence of a major dramatic work... "Robert Brustein, The New Republic"
If there is such a thing as benign explosion, this play is it: it detonates with startling quietness, showering us with truth, compassion and uncompromising honesty... "Jack Kroll, Newsweek"
A spare but lyrical dialogue, "'night, Mother" probes deeply into the mother-daughter relationship while making a disturbing statement about responsibility and courage. It is as artfully designed as a sonata, rising in each dramatic movement until it arrives at its inevitable destination. "The New York Times Magazine""
