Through laughter, tears, and confrontations, they discover that love has the power to heal the deepest of wounds.
Sela says, “Love; Mum is more than a play; it’s a celebration of the shared experiences of mothers everywhere.
“It’s raw, honest, and unapologetically real. Audiences will see themselves and their loved ones in these characters and leave inspired by their resilience.“
