Forgiving (My Mother) is a thought-provoking play about free will or rather, the lack of it. Emilia and Pat are rehearsing a script about siblings, who are grappling with the dilemma of whether to forgive their mother. As they delve into their own childhoods and the characters they are working on, the narrative unfolds to reveal something quite unexpected.
