Memory House (Off-Broadway) Photos

Oscar winner Dianne Wiest stars as Maggie, the mother to 18-year-old Katia, who stands baking a pie as her daughter struggles to meet an oncoming midnight deadline for her college application essay on the subject: "What's in your memory house?" This seemingly innocuous question prompts the free-spirited Katia to confront her mother about the ethical ramifications of her own international adoption. The play unfolds in real time, creating a remarkable, wryly funny and utterly recognizable mother-daughter drama that examines the global ties that bind family to state, and state to family.
