If you are in New York City by Nov. 8th, you should try to catch Elf Lyons' one-woman show "Woman on the Verge," a very funny, heart-breaking show about her fiancé dumping her via What's App, and Apollo 13 and Pagliacci and bouncy castles and ... a lot of stuff.
It's at the Soho Playhouse, already extended, and back to London in January. I saw it at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it was a massive hit, and it deserves every bit of praise.

NYT: "Lyons is a staple of the Fringe, known for sellout hours like these that push clowning in new directions. This one, which is billed as a comedy, has an emotional climax that packs an additional punch. The show I caught ended with a standing ovation and some audience members in tears."
