And about three weeks into rehearsal, I said to my wife, I've bitten off more than I can chew, and this...
opening night is going to be a disaster.
I can't memorize all these things that I wrote.
But then I thought, oh, well, failing is part of the whole thing.

Just by myself.
I use a lot of the Pomodoro method.
Yeah, and writing it out.
And a lot of mnemonics so that there was a story on stage and then there was this weird story in my head that connected all these things.
And there's one line where I say my...
My mother would use Yiddish in the house to heckle me.
And so it felt like I was being heckled by my ancestors.

She had babysit my brother Max once when he was two or three, and he had swallowed an entire bowl of grapes whole, and they had to rush him to the ER, so she was never allowed to babysit.
