Beautiful true stories

I wish I'd known sooner how good she is.
Are you often asked...

"When are you leaving the country again?" If you are, then see this show. She tells very real stories about what it's like to live in unfamiliar places. I especially liked the stories about culture shock in Berlin and life after war in Central America. They gave a good perspective. Of course, it helps that I related to her, having uprooted myself so much.
Trail through unfamiliar territory

Full disclosure: Katherine is a longtime friend. So I'd heard most of these stories before, in some form. But hearing them all together brought out something new. They're all great stories, of adventures and misadventures and meanderings in between. But lined up, they form a picture of discovery; that startling moment when you glimpse a world completely alien to your experience, whether it's in Ethiopia or a California yacht club. It's a fine discovery to make, especially viewed through such personal tales.

I frankly saw this show because the BLB was sold out, but when I saw that Katherine Glover's show was the nearby replacement, I was pleasantly surprised. She's written some interesting stories about her travelling experiences in light of her own upbringing. She could be a bit more confident in her material, and a few more lighter moments would balance the heavier stuff. All in all it was punch-worthy on my Volunteer Pass.
Gripping.

A simple show with only marker board for props, but the story telling was top notch. I personally enjoyed "Culture Shock" the most. Her comparison of growing up in two totally different homes and then her experiences of living in foreign countries was extremely touching.
Only flaw is the venue is a distance from some of the other Fringe shows, but is defiantly worth the effort to go and see.
the way storytelling is done

A satisfying set of beautifully crafted pieces about home, belonging and culture shock; what they are and, more importantly, what they are not. Katherine takes you on a wonderful journey of the world and of herself and her life. Thoroughly engaging and revealing, relatable and exotic all at once.
Simple, and Gripping...

This show amazed me with what can be done through simple storytelling! With minimal props, the artist brought us with her around the world-- we looked over her shoulder as she flirted with a girl in East Africa, or had her foot brutally readjusted (with success!) by Nicaraguan witch doctors. I appreciated her humor, poetry, and honesty in presenting these tales... each building upon the next, until by the end, I truly felt like I'd gone someplace and back with her.
