Writing. Rewriting. The editor. The agent. The publisher. The road tour. Aftermath revelations. 

Lucas Myers: "That's the human condition...something humourous turns tragic. It starts out -- oh, this is a bit funny, then it gets touching,

His newest show is "Work", in which he portrays an entire sensitivity training workshop. "The audience has a fantastic faculty for imagination...[I've learned] that all I have to do is shift how I'm sitting, change my voice a bit...and people will go there with me."
