GOOD MOTHERS (KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON)
Four mothers walk into a support group. One can't stop thinking about a sandstorm, one is convinced a British nurse accused of murdering babies has been profoundly misunderstood, one hears God through the walls, and another unravels beneath the weight of perfection.
Every Tuesday, under the glow of fluorescent gymnasium lights, they gather: burnt coffee, discount donuts, and enough intrusive thoughts to fill an ocean. Will they ever find themselves again?
Their group leader, Elizabeth, seems to believe they can.
Part dark comedy, part psychological fever dream, GOOD MOTHERS is an experimental ensemble play about postpartum depression, psychosis, motherhood, faith, guilt, and the increasingly fragile agreement we call reality.
Content Warning: Talk of PPD, PPP, psychosis, depression, murder, and suicide.
