The Francis Marion
University Theatre's 2012-13 season's spring
production will be The Book of Liz by Amy and David Sedaris, directed by professor Keith Best.
It will be performed in the Fine Arts Theatre in the Hyman Fine Arts Center on campus.
THE STORY: Sister
Elizabeth Donderstock is Squeamish, has been her whole life. She makes
cheese balls (traditional and smoky) that sustain the existence of her
entire religious community, Clusterhaven. However, she feels
unappreciated among her Squeamish brethren, and she decides to try her
luck in the outside world. Along the way, she meets a Cockney-speaking
Ukrainian immigrant couple who find her a job waiting tables at Plymouth
Crock, a family restaurant run almost entirely by recovering
alcoholics. The alcoholics love her. The customers love her. Her
Danderfrock fits right in. Things are going great for Liz, until she's
offered a promotion to manager. Unfortunately, Liz has a sweating
problem, and to get the job, she'll have to fix it. Meanwhile, back at
Clusterhaven, Liz's compatriots just can't seem to duplicate her cheese
ball recipe, and it's going to cost them their quaint, cloistered
lifestyle. They are panic-stricken and desperate, and sure she sabotaged
the recipe. Does Liz go through with the operation? Can the Squeamish
be saved? Will the cheese balls ever taste good again? The answers to
these and so many other questions can be found in the new comedy by
David and Amy Sedaris.
