Inspired by Kathryn Forbes' novel Mama's Bank Account, I Remember Mama tells the story of a family of Norwegian immigrants living in San Francisco at the turn of the last century. The Transport Group's revival is the second entry into its 20th Century Project, exploring the American experience and identity through different decades.
