‘night Mother is a 1983 play by Marsha Norman about a daughter Jessie and her mother Thelma (referred to as Mama in the play). The play opens with Jessie calmly telling Mama that by morning she will be dead as she plans to commit suicide that very evening (she makes this revelation all while nonchalantly organizing household items and preparing to do her mother’s nails).
