The Mother opens on 26th January (previews from 21st January) and runs until 5th March 2016. Laurence Boswell directs.
Anne loved that time in her life when she prepared breakfast each morning for her two young children, Sara and Nicholas. Now her children are grown and have lives and loves of their own. Spending hours alone, Anne broods upon the actions of her husband and longs for the return of her favoured son.
Molière Award-winning playwright Florian Zeller returns to the Tricycle following 2015’s critically-acclaimed sell-out run of The Father which has now transferred to the West End's Wyndham’s Theatre.
