At Queens Theatre, *Postcards* reworks the sharp, semi-autobiographical story that later became a well-known 1990 American film by director Mike Nichols, adapted from Carrie Fisher’s novel. This version is staged as a live hybrid of dance and theatre, tracing a performer’s uneven return to work while navigating addiction, family history, and the machinery of entertainment. In New York, the material reads as a familiar industry self-portrait, where private collapse and public image share the same lighting plot. Its most pointed insight is how comedy can function as a survival tactic rather than a punchline.
