What the Press Is Saying…
“The Longer My Mother is Dead the More I Like Her is a very funny and deeply insightful show...a wonderful, candid, and often hilarious glimpse into what for Deborah became an unbreakable bond with her mother.”
In this deeply personal and universally relatable piece, Deborah Unger invites audiences into the lifelong battle and posthumous reconciliation with her mother. Blending humor and heartbreak, Unger’s journey explores the unspoken dynamics of mother-daughter relationships. As Mom gets to speak her peace as well–albeit from the grave–the play transforms into a moving meditation on love, understanding, and letting go.
Deborah Unger is a seasoned performer whose career spans film (Motherless Brooklyn, Birdman), television (Gotham, Orange Is the New Black), and theater. Her decades of storytelling culminate in this work—a creative endeavor 15 years in the making.
