CSC_Our Mothers Brief Affair logoOUR MOTHER’S BRIEF AFFAIR
Caroline Scott Players
April 7-9
Oxford Community Arts Center

Directed by Bill Brewer

Cast: Liz Comstock, Tom Dierling & Rosalyn Benson

On the verge of death for the umpteenth time, Anna makes a shocking confession to her grown children: an affair from her past that just might have resonance beyond the family. But how much of what she says is true? While her children try to separate fact from fiction, Anna fights for a legacy she can be proud of. With razor-sharp wit and extraordinary insight, Our Mother’s Brief Affair considers the sweeping, surprising impact of indiscretions both large and small.
