Mud

April 23 - May 2, 2027

Mud By María Irene Fornés

Mae seeks to escape the basic life she has been living with Lloyd through education. She befriends Henry, who offers to teach her, but he has a stroke and is forced to remain in the care of Mae and Lloyd. Neither Henry nor Lloyd wish for Mae to leave them, which ultimately leads to her brutal killing before she is able to attain the freedom for which she has fought. Mud is a contemporary classic delving into poverty and emancipatory feminism that is ultimately undercut.

Favorite Quote

“Playwright María Irene Fornés’s production of her play MUD — a stark drama set amid the groping lives of the rural poor that I saw last year — spoke in the steely voice of a writer who knew exactly what she intended with every word, every gesture. MUD’s spare, direct poetry was crystal-clear.” —⁠Scott Rosenberg, San Francisco Examiner
