See Dragonfly Media Publishing’s newest book trailer: Stabat Mater, a play by Lauree Laing.
Three waiting women. Three epic ages. One unimaginable purgatory: Awaiting the return of a child gone off to war. Critically-acclaimed playwright Lauree Laing weaves insight, humour and depth into this one-act play, creating a masterfully written story of love balancing hate, peace balancing anger. Herself a mother of a Canadian solder, Laing gives us a glimpse into the shadowed souls of the families left behind, allowing us to journey briefly through the tortured minds of the mothers who remain.
