If you find yourself sans good entertainment between now and May 28th, do yourself an enormous favor and see
Miss Witherspoon at Seattle's ACT Theatre. I haven't been so thoroughly amused in a very long time. The play follows a middle-aged woman (Veronica, played by Anne Allgood) who finds herself (unhappily) in a Hindu-esque afterlife following her suicide. Confronted with reincarnation rather than the heaven, hell or purgatory imagined from her Catholic tutelage, she forcefully resists a return to corporeal form. The antics ensue.
