A Fringe Quickie (#288) with ‘The Longer My Mother Is Dead The More I Like Her’

Questions answered by Deborah Unger.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Other than accosting folks with my flyers, I have a secret gift for anyone who will film a testimonial for me after the show!

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

If the character is me: a shot of your best tequila, please with a large lime wedge. If the character is Mom – something dreadful like plum wine.

Q3: Cancel culture has finally come for your show. What sins has it committed?

Cursed at a priest inside his church; disowned my mother; dared to be exactly who I am.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

That loud-mouthed broad who dared to wear her bleeding heart on her sleeve for all to see – and laughed about it.
