Rife with that Sedaris humor I've come to know and love! I read the lines while imagining all the usuals who go along with Amy (pretty much the whole cast of Strangers with Candy). I still want to try my hand at a cheeseball.

Reading a play sometimes is a challenge, but the thought of these famous siblings and other comedians playing parts makes it better. It was very short and not one of my favorite Sedaris 'books', so that is why I only gave it 3 stars. 3 1/2 if they would let me.

Too funny. Potentially offensive to members of conservative religious groups, people who sweat, homophobic folks, and heaven knows who else, this little play had me chuckling out loud and reading lines to my long-suffering husband. It also made me hungry for cheese balls.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about it from reading the description on the back, but don't the idea of cheese balls fool you, it's actually very good. I love the quirky Elizabeth and her journey. I read it looking for a monologue and ultimately went with something else, but I certainly enjoyed the play, even if I can't pull off a nun.

Funny, simple, and strangely sweet. Part of me wishes it dug deeper into what it creates but that might ruin the delicateness of it.

The main enjoyment of the play is the authors' subtle poking fun at the reader and plays in general. The external is underwhelming and the internal is just as dramatic.
Also, any thoughts of Amy Sedaris keep me interested. :)

Some plays just don't translate on the page. They HAVE to be seen live. I think that's the case with this play. I think both Amy and David Sedaris are hilarious but much of the comedy in this script needs to be spoken to have its full effect. I didn't not like it, I just didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
