For #augustphotochallenge #day8: books that made me smile. In order from the top down: an amazing play I saw in London when I was 16, a Woody Allen short story collection, Wendy Wasserstein's The Heidi Chronicles, which I saw a year or two ago starring the incredible Elisabeth Moss, and a collection of short plays by one of my all-time favorite absurdist/hyper-realist playwrights, Christopher Durang. #augustofpages

rachelm Durang is fab. I was Naomi in "Naomi in the Living Room" in a college production :) 8y
bookishkai Oh, so jealous you got to see the revival of The Heidi Chronicles! I love Wendy Wasserstein. 8y
RealLifeReading What an interesting collection! 8y
katedensen @rachelm Too fun! I was Jane in "'Dentity Crisis" during high school. @bookishkris What's amazing is how well it's held up despite being somewhat dated. And Elisabeth Moss was great casting. Jason Biggs was in it too, but that was a little weird. Probably because, well, he's Jason Biggs. 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub Great choices. 8y

Had the pleasure of teaching this play when I taught IB. Such a great story of self-discovery, independence, and truth.

Eastbriar This is one of those things that has been on my radar for years...but I've just never read it. I finally placed an order when I saw this so I should get it soon! So many people say this really affected them, so I'm excited to finally read it! 9y
hwheaties @Eastbriar yay! Good to hear. 9y
