Sinopsis

Austen's "most wicked tale," Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. Lady Susan is a selfish, attractive woman, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. She subverts all the standards of the romantic novel; she has an active role, she's not only beautiful but intelligent and witty, and her suitors are significantly younger than she is.

    In 1996, you just asked for your CDs back. Now, in 2025, you're begging your ex to delete that picture of your b*tthole. Welcome to modern breakups—where the pain is digital, the receipts are forever, and your ex is still watching your Instagram stories. 
    This book is for anyone who has ever: 
    ✔️ Sent a “just checking in” text at 2 AM and immediately regretted it. 
    ✔️ Seen their ex on a dating app three days after the breakup and momentarily blacked out. 
    ✔️ Considered a full-blown career change just to avoid running into them. 
    ✔️ Attempted to post a thirst trap but overthought the caption for five hours. 
    Sorry, but getting dumped has never been more complicated. From the social media warfare to the existential dread of realizing your ex is suddenly hotter, Sorry About That is the hilariously vicious guide to surviving heartbreak in the digital age.

    “Richard Engling knows Chicago’s famously chaotic and glorious storefront theater scene like the back of his hand. It's the perfect setting for absurd comic hi-jinx.”
     
    – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
     
    
     
    In this hilarious follow-up to Give My Regards to Nowhere, Chicago director Dwayne Finnegan has another crack at the big time if only his production of Romeo and Juliet can shine. However, Dwayne shares rehearsal space with a psychedelic drug cult that believes Dwayne’s production is evil. The cult sabotages him. His actors rebel. His publicist gets entangled with a loan shark. Bones are broken, the production drops into chaos, Dwayne’s marriage hangs by a thread, but despite it all, the show must go on.
     
    
     
    Praise for the first Dwayne Finnegan novel:
     
    “As Carl Hiaasen does with his Florida-based satirical crime novels, Engling’s gloriously silly narrative allows his readers to witness how the sausage gets made, which isn't always pretty but is often eye-opening. Engling’s satire on storefront theatre is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish.”
     
    – ChicagoOnStage.com
     
    
     
    “The rollicking ride through the underbelly of the acting world and the determination of a man who sees his world fall apart and come back together in a new way as the show goes on will attract anyone interested in drama, theater, Chicago backdrops, or a drive to succeed against all odds.”
     
    – Midwest Book Review
     
    
     
    “very funny, briskly written, and often touching”
     
    – Mark Larson, author of Ensemble: An Oral History of Chicago Theater
     
    
     
    “A scrappy, big-hearted backstage comedy layered with mordant wit and full of a deep, abiding love for its characters, which is wholly appropriate for a story set in the scrappy, big-hearted world of Chicago theater.”
     
    – Adam Langer, author of Cyclorama
