Good Mother
by Damien Atkins
Winner of the 2001 Prism/UBC
Creative Writing Department Award
What would you do if your
mom suddenly wasn’t your mom anymore?
The Driver family struggles
to cope with an accident that robs them of a mother, leaving them to
care for her as she fights to regain her memory. Touching and powerful,
Good Mother examines the ties that hold a family together and the
crises that draw them apart. A compelling new drama by one of Canada’s
most promising young playwrights.
“An astonishing work. A singularly
accomplished piece… a clear-eyed examination of a group of ordinary
people coping with the process of adjustment, of survival, of learning
the necessity of moving on.”
—Jamie Portman, Southam

“A powerful new play… in
Good Mother Atkins has created something of great beauty.”
