Blown Sideways Through Life

Overweight and depressed, playwright Claudia Shear eats her way through 64 menial jobs in this true account of a woman’s life at the edges of society. Artist’s model, receptionist at a whorehouse, waitress, proofreader, Shear is the underling’s underling and offers a droll, insightful and ultimately frightening look at the inner lives of those who serve us. In Blown Sideways Through Life, Shear tells us with wit and compassion exactly what the person asking, “Would you like fries with that?” is thinking–about you and herself.
