Apples in Winter a play by Jennifer Fawcett

Apples in Winter

NNPN Smith Prize

Susan Glaspell Award

NNPN Rolling World Premiere

1 W / 75 minutes

"Twenty-two years ago, Miriam’s son, Robert, committed a horrible crime while in the grips of withdrawal. He has been sitting on death row ever since. In seven hours, the state will execute him. As is the tradition, Robert is granted a last meal. His request: a slice of his mother’s apple pie. A play about monsters and the mothers of monsters, and how we care for each other."

"And how to make a really good apple pie."

NPX National New Play Network, New Play Exchange

"We are with a woman baking a small pie in a kitchen not her own. The room is bare and there are no chairs. A knife is attached to the work table with a wire. This is the story of a mother's deepest love and most grievous pain"
