(Mame Fadden, an attractive woman in her mid-forties, feels that her life is disintegrating around her. Not only does she feel neglected and humiliated by her husband; to make matters worse, she has lost contact with her two sons, Jack and Jim, because their precious wives are ashamed of me . In order to find a bit of silence and relief, she regularly visits the quayside along the river at night. Her husband, Edward, and his two sons are deeply worried because Mame has been acting in very strange ways lately and insulting the neighbours. The play centres on Mame. It is a domestic tragedy which contrasts questions of social class and public reputation with the human longing for love, tenderness and understanding)
