The playwright describes “Mother” as “a conversation about … three Cambodian women across generations, exploring what it means to think about becoming a mother, to be a mother, and also to inhabit a home both within yourself and outside of yourself.”

“Mother” is one of the plays in development as part of Independent Shakespeare Co.’s Iambic Lab 2026. All events are free but reservations are requested. Info: http://indieshakes.org/iambic-lab-2026
