The struggles, joys, and unbreakable bonds of motherhood take centre stage in the new and compelling play, Love; Mum. Following a sold-out development season last year, Sela Faletolu-Fasi (writer / director / producer / actor) hits the road with an all-female Pacific cast from Christchurch to tour New Zealand; hitting the NZ Fringe Festival in Wellington, Little Andromeda Theatre in Christchurch and Basement Theatre in Auckland.
Inspired by a goodbye letter that Faletolu-Fasi wrote to her six children, the story follows five Pacific women - Joy, Finau, Racheal, Judah, and Lalelei - who meet at Mums Anonymous, a self-help group for new mothers. As they confront their individual struggles - abusive relationships, career pressures, insecurities, and anxiety - they form a sisterhood that becomes their sanctuary. Through laughter, tears, and confrontations, they discover that love has the power to heal the deepest of wounds.
“…a terrific show…funny, sad, moving, incisive, joyful, vulnerable, generous… It reminds us of the loving and often hard work it takes to tend to relationships, and the need for compassion for ourselves and others.”
