Review by MIKE REYES

What I liked

Making its world premiere at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival, And Her Children marks The Attic Collective’s return with perhaps their most haunting and accomplished work yet. Staged at the Hobgoblin Playhouse, a black box in the heart of Hollywood, the production thrives in the venue’s intimacy. Over 80 minutes filled with tension, sorrow, and precision, the show pulls us in from its first breath. Once it sets you in its crosshairs, there’s no looking away.

My overall impression

Political image, personal loss, and public reckoning collide in And Her Children as The Attic Collective returns to the Hollywood Fringe with their most powerful work yet. Hailey McAfee transforms as an NRA spokesperson caught in a surreal unraveling, delivering an award-worthy performance that anchors this bold, emotionally devastating production. Under Rosie Glen-Lambert’s precise direction, the team crafts an unforgettable theatrical experience that confronts challenges and lingers long after the curtain falls.
