2016.2.9. Mother and Son at Artistis Repertory Theater

2/9 Tuesday.  Sunny and warm. Mother and Son by Terrence McNally, directed by Jane Unger. A woman, totally alone after her husband's death, visits her deseased son's boyfriend, who now has made a home with another man and a son. This mother figure is too unlikable, totally self centered, wants revenge for her only son's death. The two gay fathers and their child are all very likable, way too accommodating to the angry mother. Almost unrealistically nice. Overall a very moving performance.

Single set, nicely done, very homey. Great acting. Highly recommended.
