“Ma, stop for one moment. I know what I look like!”
In this masterful new play by Jane Dossick, Gemma is a young woman still living at home and dominated by her mother, confined to her bed by a paralyzing accident. Gemma has become her sole caregiver.
On a daily basis, this love-smothering mother reminds her vulnerable daughter of her personal failures and shortcomings.
Gemma is so uncertain about putting herself at risk emotionally, she has taken refuge in an office-building parking lot, as a cashier on the night shift.
This immaculate little character study of a lonely young woman and a young man who find each other, is warm and winning. Its themes are universal.
It is a new work of extraordinary quality by the distinguished American author Jane Dossick.
JANE DOSSICK is the author of numerous books, including Creative Therapy, Inheritance, and the plays Gemma and Aftermath.
