Mouthpiece

Adapted from the play by Amy Nostbakken and Norah Sadava, Patricia Rozema's MOUTHPIECE centers on Cassandra, an aspiring writer who, while struggling to compose a eulogy after the sudden death of her mother, comes to discover that her own rebelliousness is as much a response to the male gaze as her mother's conformity. Enacting the two sides of Cassandra's conflicting inner dialogue, playwright-performers Nostbakken and Sadava create a compelling portrayal of the tension between regression and progress that is often found within women.
