Miss Witherspoon
Mainstage Theater
Written by
Christopher Durang
Directed by Emily Mann
In life, Veronica turned her back on religion – so why is she spending eternity in the netherworld with a Hindu spirit guide who calls her Miss Witherspoon? And why is she continually being sent back to earth to live lives she adamantly refuses to lead? Will she open herself up to enlightenment and learn her place in the world?
Miss Witherspoon is based on actual research conducted by the author in the netherworld. Or so he says.
