Mother of Him by Evan Placey won the King's Cross Award for New Writing (UK), as well as the Canada's Under 30 National Playwriting Award at the Tarragon Theatre.

It's a snowy December morning like any other in Toronto, Canada, as Brenda Kapowitz sends her 8 year-old son Jason off to school, while her teenager Matthew remains asleep upstairs. Soon she'll begin lighting candles for the 8 nights of Hanukkah. You'd think Brenda was like any other mother, but today the press are camped outside, Matthew is under house arrest and it's the laws that form inside the house that matter most. She could be any mother. But she's not. She's his.

Mother of Him is about how far our love for our children goes, and at what cost to ourselves.
