BRACKISH WATERS

This short performance by the delightful Christina Applegate is a rare, treasured find. Kate is about to lose it during a hellish vacation at Sand Piper Bay and takes out all her rage in a Yelp review of the resort. She has dragged her reluctant children and husband along, hoping to bond with her family and to fill the void of her miserable career yet all she ends up feeling is self-loathing. She complains about absolutely everything--from the confusing keycard system to better-off peers vacationing in villas nearby. Applegate, armed with a palette of bitter emotions and sarcastic tones, paints picture-perfect impressions of jealousy, annoyances, and indifference with every disastrous anecdote. Her performance will have listeners laughing to tears yet appreciating Kate's illuminating self-discovery while surviving her vacation. G.M.
