    Half-Baked Stories About My Dead Mom

    Emerson Colonial Theatre, 106 Boylston St, Boston · verified Oct 2
    See details

    This American Life host Ira Glass teams up with acclaimed Israeli writer Etgar Keret for a live stage version of their podcast, Half-Baked Stories About My Dead Mom. The performance blends humor and emotional depth as Keret shares compact, four to five paragraph pieces that together reveal the many sides of his mother, Orna. The project took shape after a bus ride out of Tel Aviv, when a story Keret told convinced Glass it could become a show. Keret had written on countless subjects yet found it difficult to write about his mother until these brief vignettes emerged. Orna comes across as both loving and vengeful... part Maria from West Side Story and part Thanos from the Marvel universe... a person capable of striking, extreme actions. In developing the material with Glass, Keret came to see that his taste for the fantastical grew from being raised by a mother who made the surreal feel ordinary.
