from The Off-Off-Off-Broadway Company
In her mind Diana is a glamorous singer-raconteuse at The Former Persons’ Club in Petrograd, and Leon her pianist. In reality the pair are patients in a British mental asylum heading for closure. When not singing traditional songs or reminiscing about her life as a Russian aristocrat felled by the Revolution, Diana confronts real memories and scars from a life with an unstable mother.
What will happen to this fragile human being when the doors of her only sanctuary look set to close forever? What of her friend and accompanist?
Hidden Mother is a darkly funny drama about friendship and politics, madness and mothers. The latest piece of new writing by the award-winning* The Off-Off-Off-Broadway Company.
