Page ^ Campus Lire Spring Production Conies to a Close Tuesday, April 30,1996 Jon Ostendorff Editor The Brevard College theater closed its spring production on Saturday April 27. The play, “Night, Mother” by Marsha Norman, was directed by theater Professor Robert A. White. The two female characters were played by Aymi Franklin as Jessie and Emily Holbrook as Mother. The plot of the play is an extremely serious one that deals with two individuals’ struggle with life, sickness, and suicide. The play is centered around the last hours of Jessie’s life. Jessie is an epileptic woman who has made a decision to end her life through suicide. In the beginning of the play, she informs her mother of her plans to shoot herself in a couple of hours with her dead father’s pistol. Jessie’s mother does not believe the threat made by her daughter. The play builds to a climactic ending with Mother pounding on the door of Jessie’s room, pleading for her to come out, and then a shot is heard, signaling the end of Jessie’s life. The play was performed with no intermission. The two actresses handled Aymi Frankin and Emily Holbrook perform in “Night Mother” (photo by J. Ostendorff) the challenge of remaining on stage and in character for the entire run very well. Even though the audiences were smaller than usual due to a lack of advertisement, the production was a success. The people who did come to see the show left with a realistic insight into the lives of Jessie and her Mother.
