Jonatha Brooke took care of her aging mother, suffering from dementia, for the last two years of her life. And because she's a singer/songwriter, she wrote some songs about it. And then she wrote some stories about it. And prompted by an idea from her mother, herself an artist, she wove these stories and songs into a one-woman show called
My Mother Has 4 Noses. First performed off-Broadway in 2014, just two years after her mother's death, Jonatha now brings it to the
Jungle Theater in Minneapolis. Everyone who has ever had a mother should go see this show. It's a funny, painful, moving, beautiful story of love, brilliantly and very personally told by the woman who lived it. Theater doesn't get much more real than this.
