I Killed My Mother

by András Visky

Spring 2010 at the Victory Gardens Greenhouse

Spring 2012 at LaMama ETC in New York

by Andras Visky

translated by Ailisha O'Sullivan

directed by Karin Coonrod

assistant directed by Chris McLinden

featuring  Melissa Lorraine and Andrew Hampton Livingston

Performed at Victory Gardens Greenhouse, the second Visky text performed by Theatre Y, I Killed My Mother, marked the company’s official residency as a Chicago based company.  The story of “Bernadette,” a Romanian orphan, one of the forgotten collateral damage of Ceasescu’s communist dictatorship and her friend “Clip,” the play was the first collaboration with New York based director Karin Coonrod.  Minimally staged, but with a blazing aesthetic and raw, heart-wrenching performances, the show played to critical acclaim and garnered Lorraine an Orgy Award for Best Actress.  Invited to run at LaMama ETC in New York, Coonrod’s production of I Killed My Mother received a rave Ben Brantley review on the cover of the New York Times Art Section.
