This play is hilarious, filled with pee-your-pants hysterical moments. I just continue to be startled by how conventional it is, in both structure and message. Take away the cheese balls and the Shakeresque religious community, and Book of Liz is much less innovative than I ever would've expected from any number of Sedarisim.

You can't get funnier then these two. I wonder if the rest of the fam is as funny in real life.

Not only is this a great script to read (and authentic David Sedaris, with an equal measure of Amy mixed in, which just makes it all the more wacky), but the play was one of the best things I've seen on stage in 10 years. Of course, I also saw it in LA, where every actor who was in it was concurrently airing in either a Pledge, Fruit of the Loom or Metamucil commercial, while working 2 jobs in various restaurants and sending their head shots to Spielberg, Katzenberg and Weinstein twice a day.

If nothing else, the ability of the writers (David & Amy) to take an oft misunderstood faith and obscure its true ideals even more, create intrigue around the construction of a highly prized hors d'ouevres originating from Wisconsin, and wrap it all up in a tidy love story, is testament to what unique intellectuals they both are. Either that, or they're both just completely insane.

Hilarious! It's short, so it would be a great piece for high school One Act Competition.

The play written by Amy + David Sedaris. It's funny but not as much as solo David Sedaris. It's more lighthearted than his stuff, too.

I thought this was very funny and charming. I would love to see a staged version of this!

Very funny. I wished I had been able to see it when they put it on.

This is a play written by Sedaris siblings Amy and David and it's nowhere near as good as it should be.
