About the Plays Dear Mother and Dear Mother & All
Dear Mother & All is a play written by Sandra Perlman, based on the actual letters between a 19-year-old boy, his family, friends and relatives in Massillon, Ohio during a few months in 1918 while he served as a Marine in World War I.
The play is based on letters preserved in the Massillon Museum archives, originally funded by the Ohio Humanities (1989).
To read more about this play or to download the script, please visit playwright Sandra Perlman's website.
