2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

A true-ish, Jewish musical comedy with chutzpah and heart - it's a kind of tragic!

Jewish mother of 3, Rivki has a secret - Freddie Mercury is her hero. Her nerdy son, Rabbi Michael plans to marry American, alopecia-ridden, lisp inflicted fiance Devorah, until devastating rumours emerge.

Religious identity, forbidden relationships, and prejudice are explored through parody and pop. Experience an intimate glance into a bizarre world through this documentary style production.
