Plays/Films/Dramas

Two narratives of motherhood collide in John G. Neihardt's ambitious 1921 drama. One follows a grieving mother in contemporary America, torn between her daughter's innocent dreams and the temptation of ill-gotten wealth after her son's death. The other traces Agrippina, ancient Rome's most notorious mother, watching her son Nero ascend to power through murder and intrigue. Both women face the same terrible question: how far will love drive a mother to compromise her soul? The play interweaves these parallel stories to illuminate something universal about maternal love and its capacity for both extraordinary sacrifice and dangerous ambition.
