KILLING MOM
​
A Poignant Comedy
by Megan Smith-Harris
Think of all the times you’ve argued with your mother and thought,
“I could just kill her!"
​
What if one day, she asked you to do exactly that?
​
KILLING MOM is a fast-paced and moving story that tackles the issues that perplex us all: family dysfunction, aging, mortality,
and the eternal quest to be the most favorite child.
EARLY Praise
“You must expand this into a full length play because clearly, the audience is hungering for more."
Terrence McNally
Multiple Tony Award-Winning Playwright
*NOTE After winning First Prize in
The Bijou Theatre One-Act Play Competition,
judged by Terrence McNally,
playwright Megan Smith-Harris took his advice and expanded
KILLING MOM into a full length play.
“I loved this play! So touching and such a gift Megan Smith-Harris has to be able to take such a heady and controversial subject and make us laugh while making us think. KILLING MOM should be on Broadway!”
Susan Maurer
Author
“KILLING MOM is a beautiful, moving, and genuinely funny play. The complexity of the characters and subject matter are revealed with an authentic voice. We find ourselves laughing and then crying all within a page of dialogue.”
Tim Howard
Theatre Director
“That family is my family—the one I grew up in and spent summers on the Vineyard. It was pitch perfect. I think KILLING MOM is what all plays should be—a non-stop ride. It makes big points with zero preaching.”
