Static: A Party Girl’s Memoir
5.0/5
Critic Rating
At the tender age of 18, Ashley King’s life is all about booze, boys, and parties. But when she wakes up blind on holiday, she has to face her darkest depths — grieving a new life she didn’t choose or want. Static isn’t your typical inspiration story. It’s a poignant and funny take on the struggles and triumphs of a young woman learning to navigate the world without sight. This dark comedy asks — does everything really happen for a reason? Can joy be found in unexpected places?

"...it’s so theatrical...In between pieces of the story you’ll hear interviews with Ashley’s surgeon, the play’s director, and her real mom. This podcast isn’t about a party girl, it’s about disability, a mom and daughter, and even a peek behind the theater curtain."
