MOTHER’S DAY

This is a play about two women that decide to change bodies. This is done because one of them needs help with her self-esteem. She has to learn to respect herself and to make her family to respect her. To make them stop treating her as their maid and to start treating her as wife, in the case of her husband, and as mother, in the case of her children. Because of her weak personality, this is an extremely difficult thing to do for her. That is why, her friend, who happens to be a witch with a very stong personality, convinces her friend to switch bodies. They spend one day in the other’s body and the confident woman finally manage to educate her weak friend’s family.
The story has positive and negative points. Among the positive, we can say that it is very well written, easy to read and to understand, it has simple vocabulary and it is full of funny dialogues. At certain moments, it makes you laugh. As regards the negative, the only thing that can be mentioned is that it is an absurd unreal story.

  2. Hello Sun!
    I´ve read this play when I attended Language and Culture II and I really liked it. One of the themes could be "to feel respect for mother".
    The writer is F.B. Priestley.
