(TEN MINUTES) “Visitation” is a drama about a mother who is visited in prison by her grown son, who has been suffering from drug addiction. Later we learn the truth about the mother's imprisonment and that few things are as they seem, particularly in this intense mother-son relationship.

    Andrew's play kept me turning pages wanting to know more about these characters and what will happen to them. Part of a puzzle that reveals itself at the end. Sad and realistic. The title suggests one thing and is turned on its head.

    A believable and poignant short drama with two great roles written for an actor and an actress. The play hooks you from the moment it begins all the way to its heartbreaking conclusion. I would love to see this performed. Incredibly well done!

    The power of love between mother and son is shown intensely in this piece. Understanding you have enabled your child's worst habits is heart wrenching. I felt such sadness for this mother.
