Tales Our Mother Told

by Pat Whymark

Common Ground Theatre Co.

At their mother’s wake, two brothers try to make sense of her through the fantastical stories she once told—some hilarious, others terrifying, and all unforgettable. Were they guidance or misdirection? This inventive play with live music explores memory, myth and family with warmth, wit and theatrical flair. Common Ground, based in Ipswich, is a theatre company committed to keeping small-scale theatre alive and well in East Anglia.
