When Tarak, a Bengali expatriate, and Karen, an American, decide to get married, they know they're in for some cultural difficulties. But when Tarak buys them a brownstone and asks permission to move his mother into the basement apartment, Karen knows she's getting more than she bargained for. Presented by ReAct Theatre, Pratidhwani and The Central Heating Lab at ACT, this comedy explores the challenges and joys of coming together in love - for us as individuals, and our families.

The Seattle Times review - Mother in Another Language
"New family members, like societies, have much to learn about one another. As this play proves, compassion, open minds and a lot of humor can make it work."

The Seattlest review - Mother in Another Language
"How refreshing, when a production comes along that accepts multiculturalism as a given, and tells stories about people who are interesting not inspite of their cultural heritage but rather because of it."

Seattle Weekly review - Mother in Another Language
"ReAct Theatre and producing partner Pratidhwani strike a gusher with Taniya Hossain's delightful parlor comedy..."
