Monster Moms


Belated Mother's Day.
I slipped in Yerma in the list. Extrapolating that if she had a baby, she would still have issues.

Three Tall Women
(seen 2/2018, Golden Theatre, dir. Joe Mantello)

Albee mom in three
Ages. How does one get from
A to B to C?

***



Crisis
(1946, dir. Ingmar Bergman)

Nelly learns city
Souls corrupt. True mother less
So than adoptive.

***




Rachel, Rachel
(1968, dir. Paul Newman)

Rachel withers from
Mother. Sex awakens her,
Actualizes self.

Yerma
(seen 3/2018, Park Avenue Armory, by Federico Garcia Lorca / Simon Stone, dir. Simon Stone) 

Apres Lorca, "Her"
Blogs of childlessness - failure
Of female nature?
