Miranda Fitch is a college professor and a brilliant actress in the past. Her career was shattered by an accident: she literally fell off the stage. And now her back hurts. Miranda's life is a job at a dying theater arts department and a struggle with an addiction to painkillers. Despite this, she wants to stage the most ambiguous play by Shakespeare, "All's Well That Ends Well," with her students. However, not everyone is on board with this idea. Thus begins our journey through Miranda's distorted world, woven from chronic pain and misunderstanding. Mona Awad's range of allusions stretches from Shakespearean plays to Hunter Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and John Updike's "The Witches of Eastwick," combining sharp satire, dark humor, and magical realism.
