The real fun of this show, though, is in the clever ways she brings the audience into it. Though she asks people to come up on the stage, she gives them opportunities to escape being the center of attention. But if you’re a very tall, well traveled, and employed man who’s compulsively honest odds are good you’ll be on stage. Take from that what you will.

The play appears to be a kind of catharsis. The author puts the random happenstance of a negative period in her life into the context of a game where an all-knowing narrator deals her life in chance cards. It’s a powerful metaphor humorously delivered (even the worst card somehow manages to be funny).

Though not my favorite so far, it was definitely a solid show.
