Sandra Tsing Loh Stars in THE MADWOMAN IN THE VOLVO This June
By: Louisa Brady
Written by and Starring NPR Personality Sandra Tsing Loh
June 2- June 26 On The Playhouse Mainstage
In the throes of her own mid-life change, Loh wrote an essay for the Atlantic Monthly, which later became the basis for her memoir, The Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones. She identified herself as someone who is from the "Triple M Generation-menopausal, middle-aged and a mother." The New York Times selected Madwoman as one of the paper's 100 Notable Books of 2014. Booklist called it "hilarious, comforting and enlightening."
The memoir's three-character stage adaptation is a bumper-car ride through mid-life madness, all sparked by an unlikely trip to Burning Man.
