I Am NOT a Dinner Mint
Trey Anthony writer of the hit play ‘da Kink in my hair, that wowed Toronto audiences and packed houses, is at it again, this time she is director and co-writer with Redfoot Productions Rachael-Lea Rickards, on a new play, I am not a Dinner Mint the crap women swallow to stay in a relationship!
The playwrights define a dinner mint as the small refreshing after thought one enjoys after a really good meal, the little candies wrapped in layers of tissue at the bottom of granny’s purse. The writers declare many women become dinner mints in their relationships. This analogy provides the perfect backdrop for a diverse cast of 5 women as they take an intimate, honest and sometimes hilarious look at the various relationships in their lives. From best friend make-ups, to searching for Mr. Right, to lesbian break ups, I am not a Dinner Mint guarantees to have its audiences laughing, crying, and yelling enough is enough to bad relationships and wish I held on to the good ones they let slip away.
It’s a journey of 5 Women, 5 hearts but ultimately one story

She takes you through growing up Indian in a Jewish community; her discovery of sex in a repressed Hindu household; and how she finds herself along the way. It‘s “Gandhi” meets “Pretty in Pink.”
