Review The most profound and harrowing of Ms. Herzogs many fine plays * New York Times *An exquisite, bracing drama… An unblinking portrayal of endurance in the narrow parallel universe of the chronically unwell, and what its like when the walls start closing in… The writers mix of sympathy and showmanship is gorgeously ruthless * Village Voice *A wrenching tale of everyday heroism that is all the more touching for its total lack of sentimentality. Ive never seen a more honest portrayal of the day-to-day demands of caregiving, or a more moving tribute to a mothers love. It might just be Ms. Herzogs best play to date * Wall Street Journal * Long Description Armed with medicines, feeding tubes, and various medical accoutrement, Mary Jane is a single mother and a one-woman army when it comes to the care of her chronically ill son. A moving new play about the stalwart endurance of a devoted mother, Mary Jane by acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog demonstrates the prevailing strength of human will when fueled by unconditional love.
