Now it’s onto Can We Talk?, by Jordan Seavey. Can We Talk? is a hilarious, biting, raunchy new play in which Brett plays the one-and-only Joan Rivers who has returned to help guide her daughter Melissa through a slump. Yup, I will be Joan. In full Joan attire. And makeup. And wig. It’s been quite a ride.

The show is a part of the Flea Theater’s Cutthroat series.

PLAYING DECEMBER 9-22.
