    When was the last time a ten minute play made you cry? For me, it was Rachel Tookey’s MUDDER at the Samuel French OOB festival. Nothing brings up your mommy issues like becoming a mother yourself. With its apt theatrical premise, MUDDER toggles between hilarity and touching vulnerability. This clever and affecting short cuts to the bone of generational trauma, offering healing, hope, and a terrific role for an older actress.
