Onstage Lit

I don't know much about the author Aimee Bender, but one of my cohorts here reviewed a recent book of hers and -- unless my memory's gone totally to shit at this time of night -- talked about her work as being in the same vein as Kelly Link. And, hey, I can't argue with that.

Anyway. There's a theatrical adaptation going on in NYC of five stories from her collection The Girl in the Flammable Skirt; the play goes by the same name, and can be seen through the 29th of this month.

If memory serves, I also heard something about an adaptation of George Saunders's Pastoralia onstage in the city....
