In Tuckie White’s Motherhouse, a young woman, Annie, enlists the help of her four Aunts to create an authentic eulogy for her recently deceased Mother. What begins as a small act of family solidarity quickly spirals into darkly comic chaos as they attempt to capture the spirit of the departed.
Motherhouse is a wickedly funny, wickedly human story about the painful, messy momentum of grief.
