The most impressive thing about Sell/Buy/Date may be that the performances and the story are equally fascinating. Jones has something very important to say, and an irresistible manner of storytelling in which to get the message across. This is theatre at its most vital and compelling.
The Tony-winning Sarah Jones' work goes way beyond raising funds for the worthiest of causes, however. She instantly elevates the genre of one-person shows showcasing their creators' talent to a heroic level, launching her unique performance art into George Carlin strata with a gentle jab of social protest peeking through her signature talent and humor.
Jones's writing is smart, insightful, witty, and moving, and the stories explored in Sell/Buy/Date could not feel more timely or relevant. By far the most extraordinary thing about Sell/Buy/Date is Jones's performance. The ease with which she switches between characters is remarkable, and the energy required is that of running a 90-minute marathon.
