Five mothers wait. Two months of silence. The experiment? You'll never know. Sleep tight!
Five mothers sit anxiously in a hospital waiting room to reunite with their children, who have been participating in an experimental procedure for two months. Tension drives the action in Marsha Sheiness's play, which takes its title from an obscure nursery rhyme and never reveals the true nature of the experiment.
Acting
Five women carrying 90 minutes of pure anxious dread.
Writing
Sheiness refuses to explain the horror. Genius or cruelty?
Director
Peter Levin
