WISHFUL DRINKING - CARRIE FISHER

She squeezed a lot of living into that month and a half.

"Carrie Fisher stars in Wishful Drinking at Berkeley Rep, the play she's penned about the days when battling hangovers occupied the bulk of her life (February 8-March 30). Princess Leia at age 19, manic depression and alcoholism in between, Elizabeth Taylor as a stepmom, and Paul Simon as an ex-husband, Fisher's life story has had more twists than a martini."

Susan and I enjoyed Wishful Drinking.
Our favorite part was when the giant genogram descended from the rafters.

She didn't stand a chance with that cast of characters.
I found her to be quite likable but a bit exhausting.
