LEWISTON — The one-woman performance, “My Mother’s Clothes are Not My Mother,” will run from Friday, Nov. 10 through Sunday, Nov. 19, at The Public Theatre, 31 Maple St.
When Elizabeth Peavey’s mother passed away, she was faced with figuring out what to do with her mother’s “stuff.”
So began a funny and poignant journey Peavey turned into a play. This entertaining and moving story takes a daughter both forward and backwards in time from child to caregiver, as she sorts out the contents and memories of a life with and without her mother, according to a news release from the theater.
The play won the 2013 Maine Literary Award for Best Drama, and The Public Theatre recently received a $10,000 grant from The National Endowment for the Arts to further develop this humorous and poignant story that powerfully resonates with baby boomers, the release said.
The show will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10 and 17, Saturday, Nov 11 and 18, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19. There will also be a 3 p.m. performance Saturday, Nov. 18.
