A new dark comedy in English Mummy’s Dead, Long Live Mummy!, written, produced by Koël Purie Rinchet and directed by Tiffany Hofstetter which had a successful world premiere in March 2023 in Paris, is now coming for a three-city India tour along with the original cast, performing in Delhi and Bengaluru this week.
Also produced by Ira Dubey and presented by Lila Naatak Company, Mummy’s Dead, Long Live Mummy! dramatizes the relentless nature of motherhood by following the raw, unfiltered, tragically hilarious and often moving journey of four diverse mothers.
Often a mother is either pulling her own hair out in exhausted defeat or being humiliated publicly by her mini-spitting image. Sometimes, she can get seven whole minutes of the cuddly, loving child she had always dreamed of, or sometimes half a minute can go from extremely exhilarating fun to marvellous meltdowns. As the name suggests the play is deeply funny, scary, heart-breaking, and relentless in equal measure. It is presented by an all-women team and the timely universal language of the play will appeal to all.
