Ecce Mom

by Patrick Mulcahey

(Concrete WA, USA)

A widowed mother protests her adult children's censure and desertion of her.

about the author:

Wrote plays in my youth, but when health insurance and food on the table asserted themselves as priorities, I took up writing for television, mostly soap operas, over forty years and nine Emmys. The engine of soaps — two people alone in a room — is not so far removed from "two boards and a passion": it was the work I was given and mostly I loved it. When I was ready to leave it and write for the stage again, the pandemic had other ideas. But magically, thanks to Roland and "Hear Me Out Monologues," despite all, a virtual stage made room for me. His monologue “A Good Turn” won the Golden Ear at the 2020 Hear Me Out Monologue Competition.
