“Death, Cancer & Other Bumps In the Road…” this one hour solo show written and performed by Laney Fichera is a powerful and hilarious look at the taboos surrounding death and dying in America. This woman’s journey through her own breast cancer and the loss of her loved ones will inspire, inform and enlighten you. She takes on institutions, doctors and the existing systems in a way that will leave you rolling in the aisles while you’re wiping away your tears! It is truly funny, poignant, heart wrenching, and completely satisfying !
Audience members’ reactions:
Make sure you have a glass of wine and a box of kleenex! I was amazed at Laney’s ability to show such deep emotion and then move on without disrupting the flow of the piece. Such a pro! I had to cry, blow, and laugh all at the same time!! It is so insightful about the process of grieving and remembering our lost loved ones. The hard won life lessons are so well described. Just a beautiful experience to watch. Its universality makes it so relatable everyone can connect to it.
