    The scene is the living room/kitchen of a small house, which is shared by Jessie and her mother. Jessie's father is dead; her loveless marriage ended in divorce; her absent son is a petty thief and ne'er-do-well; her last job didn't work out and, in general, her life is stale and unprofitable. As the play begins Jessie asks for her father's service revolver and calmly announces that she intends to kill herself. At first her mother refuses to take her seriously, but as Jessie sets about tidying the house and making lists of things to be looked after, her sense of desperate helplessness begins to build.

    SPECIAL EVENT: Saturday, June 18 we will host a special panel discussion after the production. Members from the Crisis Center, Memphis Gay and Lesbian Center as well as the cast and director will discuss issues rising from the play. A portion of that evenings ticket sales will be donated to the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Center.

    Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. "…honest, uncompromising, lucid, penetrating, well-written, dramatic, and…unmanipulatively moving…" —NY Magazine. "…a shattering evening…" —NY Times.
