On a long drive through desolate terrain a woman is
drawn to an out-of-the-way town. You'll laugh, cry and applaud this woman's journey as
intuition and fate conspire to force her to face her own frailties. But, when faced by
evil, is she up to the challenge? "Amy, Fate and
Me", a compelling one woman drama, is based on Sandra's life. It's a character
study of a lost woman.
"...a wonderful job of
acting. The story is enthralling" - Daily Republic, '10

The two faces of
Sandra Risser -Theatre and Comedy
The hardest working gal at the Fringe!!!! At 69
years of age Sandra's not slowing down. She's brought her two critically acclaimed one
woman shows - a drama (Amy, Fate and Me) and stand-up comedy (American Cougar Of Comedy) -
to the Edinburgh Free Fringe Festival. (http://sandrarisser.com/edinburgh)
Those who see both shows will notice
the link between her self deprecating humor and the "lost" woman in her play.
"Like a fine red wine I just get better and
better until the day I turn to vinegar." - Sandra Risser |
