Love; Mum is about 5 Pacific women who meet at 'Mums Anonymous' - a self-help group for new Mums. They form a sisterhood that embarks on the journey of parenting together and the struggles we don't often talk about.

As their children get older, life gets more complicated and begins to test their relationship with each other and the people they love. For Joy, the struggle to show up for the sisterhood while trying to navigate her own life becomes unbearable.

Sela Faletolu-Fasi wrote 'Love; Mum' in 2023, from a goodbye letter she wrote to her 6 children. She knew they would never thank her for that letter, so she decided to write a play as a way of sharing her story, expressing hope and to let her children know they are the reason for everything. All five characters in 'Love; Mum' are a representation of her and the struggles she has faced in life and as a Mum.

This is a funny and yet heartbreaking story about motherhood, about women, and ultimately about the power of love and forgiveness to overcome it all.
