Greer and Handler? or Handler and Greer?

Sep.07.2012

The vaudeville act of Daniel Handler and Andrew Sean Greer returns to the stage—actually for the first time together at Litquake—and we are blessed to receive their collective presence. Yes, they have written bestselling books (The Confessions of Max Tivoli, A Series of Unfortunate Events), and both are recipients of many awards and adulation. But at the heart of tonight’s program, they are just going to fool around, drawing questions from a fishbowl, as if to punctuate the randomness of life, which we can only hope will cause them to veer into personal attack. We are pretty sure there will also be a musical interlude.
