Mother/Son

Jeffrey Solomon’s warm, moving monologue depicts the relationship between a young Jewish man and his over-protective mother as she struggles towards accepting his homosexuality. Solomon gives a detailed, almost uncanny, performance as the mother, which derives humour from her initial denial, through tentative acceptance, to out-and-out pride, without ever slipping into caricature.
