Information for The Silver Cord at Finborough, Inner London (Play). Both a classic comedy of manners and a powerful Freudian insight into motherhood, family dysfunction and power. Boston, Massachusetts, 1925. Wealthy widow, Mrs Phelps, is determined her two grown-up sons, David and Robert, will never leave her. Overbearing, suffocating and clingy, she expects to control every important decision for them. And when both sons announce their intention to get married, Mrs Phelps is determined to put a stop to it. When the two young couples arrive at the family home, they come face to face with a mother who in the course of just 24 hours will stop at nothing to ensure she always remains the most important person in her sons' lives... First London production since 1927.
