Lolita, Daisy, Ophelia: A Love Story

This is a must see show devised by three talented young actresses giving voice to three iconic women in literature. Lolita (Lolita), Daisy (The Great Gatsby), and Ophelia (Hamlet) find themselves in a space where they are free from the restraints placed on their characters in their stories and through these characters, these young actresses explore restraints placed on women in our society. All three actresses, Leah Artenian, Savannah Gilmore, and Sophia Brackenridge are excellent and I would highly recommend this captivating production. ... full review

This play can be favorably compared to another theatrical masterpiece, Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Sophia Brackenridge as Ophelia from “Hamlet” also fits her story and period. With these two firmly placed in their respective worlds it was jarring that Leah Artenian as Lolita, from Lolita, came across as more of a modern day teen instead of a... full review

This is one of my favorite shows at this years Fringe. It's devised so beautifully. The story it tells is poignant and topical and unfortunately necessary in today's society. This show needs to be put up again or extended!! ... full review
