Put Them All Together by Anne Commire

Recently I read about playwright Anne Commire in the obituaries section of the LA Times.  (The LA Times writes interesting obits.) Because of this article I wanted to read her controversial play "Put Them All Together" which is about a mother who kills her hyperactive son.  Way back in 1982 when it premiered in LA, a critic labeled the play "anti-child and anti-mother."  Commire said the play's message was "just the opposite, a cry for help."  Commire is also quoted as saying that she writes about "the breaking points of women." So of course I had to read this play.  What do I think?  It's intense and disturbing, and it goes where few writers dare to go.  I loved it!
