About this listen

Academy Award nominee Rachel McAdams stars in Mary Jane, a poignant and intimate drama following a single mother’s journey caring for her chronically ill young son. Set in New York City, the play unfolds in two parts—Mary Jane's small Queens apartment and a pediatric hospital.

With unflinching honesty and unexpected humor, we witness Mary Jane's tireless devotion, her interactions with medical professionals, and her struggle to maintain her sense of self.

Playwright Amy Herzog's naturalistic dialogue and carefully observed details create an achingly authentic portrait of contemporary motherhood and medical care. Mary Jane offers a clear-eyed look at resilience and human connection in trying circumstances.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Lacks a dramatic structure

If the topic interests you, you could probably stay with it. But half an hour in, and it feels too loose, with little dramatic structure. Some interesting observations but just a little ‘too chatty’ for me…

Left hanging

This story was difficult to follow at times with the characters weaving in and out with little context. The emotion and experience regarding someone caring for a child with significant needs was honest and raw at times, but the ending felt unfinished like the author didn’t know where to go next - and I agree - I didn’t know where the story could go next.
