Boy gets the girl? The conventional setup in plays has expectation associated with it. This play defies cultural expectation by exploding heterosexual myths and priorities. Race, age, and beauty are also exposed as cultural constructs, which can be constructed differently. Le Wow is a retelling of 1980s Montreal from a girl-culture vantage point. As a witness to certain places, Shiller is documentarian, and as a pop-culture analyst she weaves into her story a 1980s sensibility.

Again

By: Romy Shiller Ph.D.

Again combines an academic exploration of reincarnation with real-life experiences. Using as a basis the altered reality of quantum physics, Romy Shiller extrapolates. It is for everyone. More than anything it is an insightful philosophy on life. Romy Shiller often uses her own examples as a part of the exploration. Shiller is at once researcher and subject of focus. Her take on Life is unique and interesting. Beyond her area of concentration, she often extrapolates and comments on the experience. Not only that but Shiller has invented her own rules for reincarnation. Shiller has coined a certain term. Her take on distinct aspects of reincarnation absolutely goes against popular suggestion. Her perspective on Time is distinctive. Ideas of the body are challenging to the reader and go against what most people take for granted. The nature of History is put into question. Romy Shiller, is considered a medical mystery. In 2003 she had a brain tumour removed and went into a five month coma. Afterwards she had Akinetic Mutism and did not speak until March 2004. How she personally negotiates shifts and fluctuations in her own life is remarkable to some.
