{"product_id":"9781552451342","title":"The Pochsy Plays","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeckett meets Betty Boop in this trilogy of monologues by Canadian cult heroine Pochsy, a nasty, vapid, utterly charming vixen. In \u003ci\u003ePochsy's Lips\u003c\/i\u003e , she's in the hospital, convinced she's sick because she's got a squid where her heart should be. In \u003ci\u003eOh Baby\u003c\/i\u003e , she's at the Last Resort, on holiday from her job packing mercury. And in \u003ci\u003eCitizen Pochsy\u003c\/i\u003e , our little minx is in the waiting room at an audit from hell. In \u003ci\u003eThe Pochsy Plays\u003c\/i\u003e , Hines remodels and melds traditions like stand-up, absurdism, clowning and neo-cabaret to create some of the most original and cutting satire to hit the stage  and, now, the page. Walk a mile in her distressed calfskin boots as the dark and ditzy Pochsy garbles ad slogans, self-help mantras and desperate grabs at meaning into a postmodern pastiche that is hilarious and harrowing, sweet and bitter at the same time. With extensive photos and musical scores, and an introduction by Darren O'Donnell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coach House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034363740400,"sku":"9781552451342","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781552451342_p0.jpg?v=1763752549","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781552451342","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
