Theater Review: “My Mother Has Four Noses”
Recently I had the privilege of seeing an incredible one woman show called “My Mother has Four Noses,” playing at The Duke Theater in New York City (229 West 42nd Street).
Jonatha Brooke, a gifted singer and songwriter, is the sole actor. She is accompanied by a small group of musicians, who add to this heartfelt look at Jonatha’s relationship with her mother.
It is a humorous and also poignant story of Ms. Brooke and times with her mother, especially in the last years of her mother’s life.
Her accounts of life with her mom “Stoney” are at once detailed, gripping, humorous and most of all a testament to their love.
Ms. Brooke is a gifted, attractive performer who touched a special chord in me as I have suffered the loss of my mother.
Her words should be a primer for all those who will one day face the problem of an aging, ill parent.
Ms. Brooke did so with support from her husband and his sister with grace and dignity. I am so glad she recalled the story in this tremendous performance.
