Deborah Unger’s The Longer My Mother is Dead the More I Like Her dives into the bittersweet complexities of a mother-daughter relationship that doesn’t end with death. With wit and poignancy, Unger wrestles with the echoes of a mother’s voice—sometimes hectoring, sometimes haunting—as she reclaims her sense of self in the aftermath of a lifetime battle for love and understanding.
“This one woman show is a wonderful ride! The life stories are so specific and so unique, yet they evoke emotions that are so universal. One minute your heart is breaking; the next you are laughing out loud...again and again! Don’t miss it - you’ll leave the theatre with a full heart and a big smile!”
“I was glued to every word. I laughed and I truly cried but I also felt a reconciling. Not only was the play original and relatable, but it also brought a deeper understanding of the bonds between mothers and their daughters. This play is powerful!”
“This one-woman show will have you laughing out loud one moment, then bring you to tears the next. But don’t worry, the laughs come right back—faster than you can wipe your eyes. A rollercoaster of emotion and humor, it’s a ride you won’t want to miss!”
