Toronto: Ripley is torn between taking care of her mum and killing her. Mum and the Big C is a romantic comedy about a no-‐strings attached, playgirl lesbian relegated back to the sedentary burbs to nurse her mom who’s hell-‐bent on marrying her off, and finds herself fenced in with lies when she unwittingly shags her mother’s oncologist.
Singing Strong in association with The Toronto Fringe Festival presents the play

What on earth is this ALL-STAR CAST doing in our FRINGE play?!
Come see... or better yet, ask them yourself! They love to chitchat with the media. We can’t get them to zip it even during rehearsals.
Our cast and crew are simply titillated to mount the world premiere of this original work, adapted from a screenplay by filmmaker Lynne Kamm. Lynne admits to having a mom -‐ to whom she has promised absolutely none of this material is based on ... err...
This is a play for everyone who has a mother!
