It's 1962, just outside of D.C., and matriarch Phyllis is supervising her teenage children, Carl and Martha, as they move into a new apartment. Phyllis has strong ideas about what her children need to do and be to succeed, and woe to the child who finds their own path. Bolstered by gin and cigarettes, the family endures

or survives

the changing world around them. Blending flares of imaginative theatricality, surreal farce, and deep tenderness, this beautiful roller coaster ride reveals timeless truths of love, family and forgiveness.

Reviews for Mother Play

""Vogel, who loves a dirty joke, knows that laughter is a way of taking things seriously. Sometimes the best way... Thirty or so years ago, Vogel told a reporter, 'I like theater that makes me feel like it's a healing.' That's what Mother Play is, a balm that comes in cardboard boxes and packing tape. It honors the dead by making them alive again and nurtures the living by providing a place to put a daughter's love and rage."" - The New York Times
