Andre's Mother Play Analysis

If the theater department at Newberry College was looking for a play to perform, I would prefer them to perform “Andre’s Mother.” This a short play that has only a few characters which were his friend Cal, his dad Arthur, his sister Penny, and his mother which the author refer to as ‘Andre’s Mother’, which is about Aids and gay people. Most of the play wasn’t about Andre, it was mostly about his mother, friends, and lover that he left behind when he died. As the play progress it gets deeper and deeper and gives the audience something to think about. It’s a bit on the melancholy side because of the death but at the same time the theme can open the eyes of those who can closely relate to it.
