STUFFED

STUFFED is Patricia Volk’s wildly entertaining true story of life in a New York restaurant family, where you’re never full, you’re stuffed. As usual, Barbara Rosenblat’s reading leaves you wanting more. This is one of those rare performances when the reader (Rosenblat) “becomes” the narrator (Volk). Every word Rosenblat utters is authentic, and her tone, volume, inflection, and remarkable sense of timing bring the story to life in a way that seems impossible on the printed page. Stuffed, which has the personality and character of a work by Saul Bellow, is funny, touching, and insightful--a description that also aptly fits Rosenblat’s reading. D.J.S.
