McNally would probably have to make a new stage version of Andrés Mother, incorporating some of what he added to the television version. I think the original play is only 15 minutes or so.

So yes, my thought was based on tv version which would have to be shortened a bit since it had a large cast and several locations.

Yes, as I recall (it was published in the anthology The Way We Live Now, IIRC), it was primarily a monologue by the lover, with the mother a silent (or nearly silent) presence.
