  The Mother (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mother in the play, Pelagea Vlassova, takes a journey through the play’s fourteen finely-woven scenes, amidst the death of her son and her own impending illness.
The play is not seen by many critics as a simplistic hymn to communism, though that is sometimes claimed.
The Mother is one of Brecht’s Lehrstücke, or learning plays, that begun soon after, and in response to, the Great Depression which plunged Germany into massive hyperinflation and over six million unemployed, ten times the 1928 level.

 Soviet Psychology: Play   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In speaking of play and its role in the preschooler’s development, we are concerned with two fundamental questions: first, how play itself arises in development – its origin and genesis; second, the role of this developmental activity, which we call play, as a form of development in the child of preschool age.
As figuratively expressed by one investigator, play for a child under three is a serious game, just as it is for an adolescent, although, of course, in a different sense of the word; serious play for a very young child means that he plays without separating the imaginary situation from the real one.
For the schoolchild, play begins to be a limited form of activity, predominantly of the athletic type, which fills a specific role in the schoolchild’s development, but lacks the significance of play for the preschooler.

 Childhood Doll Play   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Doll play questions were included after informal research (Jackson, 1993) with US professional women revealed that those who identified themselves as tomboy girls tended to remember their play with dolls as decidedly idiosyncratic or nonexistent.

The nature of the specific memories of doll play among the experimental group was in sharp contrast to the memories of undergraduate female controls.

The territory that 'night, Mother explores is that the more reasons Thelma tries to grasp to convince Jessie not to kill herself, the more she reaffirms Jessie's belief that her life is useless and it's simply better to end her suffering with a clear mind.
