Sissy Spacek and Anne Bancroft star in this taut emotional study about a mother's attempt to stop her distraught daughter from committing suicide. Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by author Marsha Norman the moving production casts Spacek as an epileptic with a failed marriage and a delinquent son who decides to take control the only way she can - by taking her own life. Bancroft as the widowed mother with whom she lives is oblivious to her daughter's depression until she becomes frightfully aware of her plans. The give-and-take between Spacek and Bancroft... makes for a searing family drama which brings to the surface all the love resentment and understanding that exists between every parent and child.
