PRESS RELEASES

NY POST: This year that might be "Driving the Saudis," which opens Sunday at the SoHo Playhouse.

Written and performed by Jayne Amelia Larson, it's based on her experience as a chauffeur in Beverly Hills for a Saudi princess.

Larson was one of 50 — 50! — drivers assigned to the princess and her entourage of friends, bodyguards, nannies and sycophants.

It's said to be a "sharp social satire." Let's hope it's dangerously politically incorrect, as well.

PICKING PALIN

As the Democratic National Convention plays on television, four top Republican
strategists meet in a hotel room to decide who will accompany John McCain on the 2008 Republican Presidential ticket. The battle over Sarah Palin as a Vice Presidential candidate soon became a battle for the soul of the Republican party, not just in that hotel room, but also in newspapers, blogs and magazines all across the country. Picking Palin depicts the very real battle that raged, and continues to rage, over the past, present and future of the Republican Party, in particular, and of American Conservatism, in general.

“Utterly, unquestionably, staggeringly authentic.” —John Glavin, author of After Dickens

DRIVING THE SAUDIS
by Jayne Amelia Larson
January 14-17 and 21-24

“Jayne Amelia Larson returns to Memphis for an encore performance of her hilarious, but eye-opening one-woman show, Driving the Saudis. She recounts her days as the only female driver for a royal Saudi family during their visit to Beverly Hills. DRIVING THE SAUDIS explores and challenges American perceptions of beauty, culture, religion, and the subjugation of women, through the curious eyes of the actress-turned-chauffeur.”

“To make ends meet, actress Jayne Amelia Larson once took a job as a chauffeur in Los Angeles.

For a woman with two Ivy League degrees, it wasn't exactly fulfilling work. That is, not until she signed up to drive around members of the Saudi royal family. …”
