Katharine stars in the title role of American Mother to critical acclaim, portraying Diane Foley, the mother of murdered journalist James Foley, in this powerful new opera by Charlotte Bray. American Mother tells the heart-rending true story of a woman who, in confronting her son’s killer, is forced to grapple with the deepest questions of violence, justice, and forgiveness. Diane Foley is the mother of Jim Foley, a freelance journalist captured and publicly executed by ISIS in 2014 — an image that became one of the most harrowing symbols of 21st-century conflict. Seven years later, Diane is granted an extraordinary opportunity: to spend three days face-to-face with the man responsible for her son’s death, inside a Virginia courthouse.
