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 drama by one of Canada’s most promising young playwrights.

"A powerful new play… in Good Mother Atkins has created something of great beauty. " —John Coulbourn, Toronto Sun
