This is not only the best one-person show in years but a fascinating, harrowing, hysterically funny play that suggests the scope and texture of Lilly Tomlin’s Signs of Intelligent Life.  Confrontational, angry, fed up by still fascinated by Life, Claudia Shear has created a wonderful roller coaster ride through every one of the sixty-five jobs she has held.  Every story is told with bewildered fascination.  Her dialogue is often soul-wrenchingly poetic without ever manipulating the audience’s emotions.  As directed by the remarkable Chris Ashley, the one-hour piece never lags.
