So God Invented Mothers

Alma – American Blues Theater

It was said, by someone much wiser than myself, that because God couldn’t be everywhere he invented Mothers. And famed English author, Agatha Christie, once said that “A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity. It dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” This quotation perfectly capsulizes playwright Benjamin Benne’s new one-act play, now enjoying its World Premiere in Chicago. The plot involves a number of contemporary issues, but at its heart Benne’s drama is a warm and heartfelt story about the mutual love between a mother and her daughter.
