THE SEVEN DAY SWITCH

Narrators Arielle DeLisle and Megan Tusing portray the two halves that make up this hilarious story based on switched identities. DeLisle and Tusing give voice to two very different mothering styles in Celeste and Wendy. After a drunken neighborhood potluck, each woman wakes up in the body of the other. The narrators do an excellent job of maximizing the humor behind Celeste as the workaholic Wendy and Wendy as the Pinterest-perfect Celeste. In a premise rife for comedy, DeLisle and Tusing give lively performances that will have listeners laughing out loud. Their nuanced characterizations, a slightly Southern cadence for Wendy, a very high strung personality for Celeste, make it easier to keep track of whose mind we are in, regardless of their mismatched bodies.
