Gown

by Robert Weibezahl

10-MINUTE. Lynn and Annie embark on that treasured mother-daughter rite of passage: shopping for the perfect wedding gown. But saying yes to the dress proves not so straightforward as their afternoon in the bridal shop reveals an unforeseen agenda and unfolds in both heartbreaking and uplifting ways.

    Well, this one will certainly tug at your heartstrings and leave a lump in your throat. And Courtney may be one of the best people in the world. Next, of course, to Robert Weibezahl, who conceived this beautiful piece in the first place. The production history speaks for itself. Outstanding!

    I'm speechless. GOWN by Robert Weibezahl is a beautiful portrait of a mother-daughter relationship with a heartbreakingly bittersweet twist. I would love to see this show performed.

    A normal event turned into a heartbreaking and touching scene by Robert Weibezahl. I got to see this at Madlab's Theatre Roulette 2023 and it was incredibly effective. The character of Courtney added some much needed humor, but this play is still devastating.
