I Know You Are But What Am I?

  • Morey Norkin: I Know You Are But What Am I?

    Brilliant commentary, mostly unspoken, on the US presidential election results. The snack aisle setting, the building tension, and the final payoff will leave audiences rolling in the aisles (store or theater). I only hope my selection of Fritos won’t be misconstrued.

    I absolutely loved this witty commentary on where we are now. I would love to see this staged. It will take the audience a moment but they will be wickedly laughing and completely satisfied once they realize what’s going on. I know I was! McClain is so smart with this piece, I really look forward to reading more of her work.

    A funny almost-wordless play on the surface, & the layering of political affiliation with branding & consumerism gives some real food for thought.
