A Conversation About Mom

    This is a beautiful and surprising play about reconciliation and grief and dawning self-awareness. The father/son dynamic depicted is revealed to have quite another dimension. This work derives its enormous power from its honest dialogue and moving reveal.

    This is one of the most truthful scripts I have read in a while. So much of this sounds like the conversations my Dad and I used to have. We were both men of little words at the time, but once we got going, it was on. Jeremy and Walter (Son and Father) feel alive, so much so I can hear their voices. At times I felt a little guilty as if I was hearing a privet conversation I ought not to. Fantastic from start to finish. Thank you for writing this, John Buster.

    If you think of John Busser as mostly a writer of low humor, then this play will change your mind. Just when you think you know where this father-son interaction is going, Busser takes it in a direction you never expected. It's an insightful and emotional look at one family's dynamics with characters that will stay with you. Beautiful work.
