My profound thanks to everyone who came out for the world premiere production of my solo show, Les filles du QUOI?

I think it’s fair to say that the opening, world premiere weekend of Les filles du QUOI? at Lost Nation Theater was a roaring success.

Samuel Beckett and James Joyce, two of Ireland’s literary giants, meet on a bridge, overlooking a river that might be the River Liffey, in a place that resembles Dublin — but might it be Hell? The possibility that they’re dead is just one of the questions the two entertain as they wait for — what…
