Apologies if this has been mentioned but I’ve just read a Reddit thread account of this show, which is doing a few dates in the US before coming to the fringe. I thought it might be helpful if I paraphrased it.
to summarise, AK mostly ‘jokes’ about her time in incarceration, the dating opportunities she’s had or not had when she returned to the USA, awkward moments where she’s had to explain who she was and where she’d been etc, a few uncomfortable sexual encounters, some jibes about Italian stereotypes. The show seems to run on the assumption that the audience had read her book, listened to her podcast, seen the show she co-produced.
She does not mention Raffaele, or Patrick, she mentions Meredith once.
Interestingly, while it is acknowledged that the show really isn’t about Meredith, it IS very much about Amanda being a victim. Which she was in a lot of ways, but the person who wrote this account found it uncomfortable that she appears to have a lot of trouble acknowledging that there was an even bigger victim in this case, who suffered far more that Amanda, and there was a family that were never able to welcome home their daughter. Amanda never seeks to show any humility in the face of this, across all the various platforms she’s used to tell her story.
It was received fairly luke-warmly by the audience, a lot of polite laughter, a lot of people there to see AK in the flesh and curious about what she might say when not bound by edited prose or script.
The show ends with her cartwheeling across the stage.
Will be interesting to see how it is received when it does come to the Fringe, although it may be difficult to get a grasp on that since there will be no official reviews.
