Ricky's Mom
Wrestling With Love
About the Job
FEMALE, 40s. BRITTLE, ACERBIC WIT-WHEN-DRUNK, EMOTIONALLY MESSY. A single mom who’s never recovered from her husband walking out, she self-medicates with booze and bad decisions. She pushes Ricky to steal, weaponizes guilt, and can be cruel and cutting. Yet underneath the dysfunction is real love and the potential for redemption. Requires an actor who can pivot from sharp-tongued, Mommie Dearest to vulnerable and broken in a heartbeat.
