- a luminous, heartbreaking, and ultimately transcendent portrait of endurance, community, and the fierce, unglamorous labour of love.
Mitch and Murray Productions presents the Western Canadian premiere of Mary Jane by Amy Herzog. A mother, a sick child, and the kind of love that doesn’t get a break. Mary Jane raises her young son Alex, who lives with a serious chronic illness and is heard but never seen onstage — the monitor in the next room is doing half the talking. Semi-autobiographical, drawn from Amy Herzog’s own life, the play follows Mary Jane through the unglamorous daily work of caregiving and the makeshift community of women — a building super, a hospital nurse, a Buddhist nun — who carry her through it. Winner of the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play.
