Crazy Mama: A True Story of Love and Madness

Laced with humor, live music, and pathos, Linda Purl stars in this tour-de-force story of a young girl’s decades-long dream of saving her mother from the soul-crushing grip of mental illness. As Mama continues to be committed to mental institutions, convinced she’s working for the FBI, Daddy blurs his pain with Kentucky bourbon and teenage brother Spikey struggles with his faith. Sharon grows up shackled to her mother’s pain, but never loses hope that one day Mama will come home. A true story inspired by Sharon Scott Williams’ award-winning memoir, Crazy Mama is a poetic journey through the labyrinth of love, despair, and redemption, and is a testament to the steely resilience of the human heart and the enduring nature of hope.
