Rána Roman
Melinda Lopez
In this darkly funny and unsentimentally poetic solo-performer tour de force featuring Milwaukee favorite Rána Roman, an adult daughter strives to live up to the unpredictable demands of caregiving for her aging mother. As they navigate these new, ever-evolving stages of their lives and relationship to one another—maddening and moving, hard and hopeful, trying and triumphant—it’s only in letting go of trying to be the perfect child that Mala becomes a good one.
