I will adapt the scene from the night woman and make it five years into the future. This specific story will make the perfect play. The mother is so optimistic that it would allow them to be happy and have fun. Likewise, when I am staging the play I will have the mother and son do bonding activities, that a mother might do with an adolescent kid. These activities might include throwing a football or playing catch. It will show a loving relationship between the mother and son. The intention of the play will be to show the warm relationship and strong bond between the kid and mom. Her situation in the play sets her up perfect for this scenario.
She is a prostitute who only works at night. Most characters in the book have to work in the day. However, she is lucky to be able to be free in the day. This gives her the opportunity to sleep when her son is at school and relax with her son when he comes home.
In the play, she is quite optimistic. If you can be an optimistic person while being a prostitute, you would undoubtedly be optimistic when with your child. This would lead me to believe that she would be a kind and loving parent. Additionally, in the play, she protects her son from what she’s doing for work. This shows her love for him, however, she could not hide what she does for a living for very long. Her son would be bound to find out in years to come. Therefore, in this play the son will know that his mother is a prostitute. When the son would find this out at first I would expect it to cause some conflicts, but eventually, the son would realize that the mother needs to do what she does in order to support him. This would inevitably lead to a stronger relationship. The play will take place after this strong relationship has already been formed.
The next character to consider would be the son. We know virtually nothing about the son from the play. This gives up lots of room to work with. We can shape him and mold him as pleased. Except, personally I think children often take on the influences of their parents. Since he only has one parent he would be even more like his mom. Therefore, I would give him some characteristics of the mom. The first one would be generousness. Due to the boy’s generosity, he would want to help his mom out financially. The mom is getting older and not making as much money as she used to so the boy would get a job. He would also be somewhat promiscuous like his mom. In the play the mother and son will have a relationship where they can joke about things like that.
This will leave room for humor. The situation that they are in and the close bond between the two gives them the perfect opportunity to make jokes about it. They can talk about their jobs and lives in the play. The son will talk about the rebellious things he has done and the mother will laugh along. This will be important foreshadowing in the play. The play can’t be all happy because the book krik krak is full of depressing events.
At the end of the play, after the mother and son have shown their intimate connection, which will tear the audience apart. The son will have gone too far having fun and will have broke a law. The consequence will be death and the mother will be devastated. The mother will find this out when she visits him in prison. After the mother visits the jail, she will realize that she has nothing left to live for and kills herself.
This would make the perfect play, designed to draw the audience in and rip out their heart, ending in complete devastation.
