WHAT COMES AFTER CRAZY

Raised by a sex-crazed psychic mother who tells fortunes, Maz yearns for normalcy when she marries. When Maz's husband runs off after an affair and daughters Hope and Abbey join forces to bring him back, this comedy on the breakup of a marriage takes off. Fran Tunno's clear, even delivery, in the hushed tones of sharing a secret with a friend, identifies each character through nuances, accents, and character shading. Her portrayal of 10-year-old Hope is deliciously on target as whiny and bratty. Blatant sexual scenes, sometimes coarse, are filled with innuendo and tension. Tunno provides exceptional narration to quirky characters and a laugh-out-loud story. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
