A very old school and ambitious approach to psychological horror. The visual effect of the wall itself never overwhelmed the story and the lead actress pulled off a very tricky role. I imagined watching this in black & white on Turner Classic Movies.... full review

I read the original Yellow Wallpaper in High School and again just a few years ago one day when bored at work. It is a fascinating and terrifying story...Denise Barrett does an amazing job adapting this to a one-act. The story builds into insanity and the lead actress is phenomenal as Jane. This play uses screen projection in a brilliant way. I seriously had goosebumps as the story progressed! I highly recommend this play to anyone checking out the Fringe shows. ... full review

Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the show, and felt it was very well produced. The story was well written and felt within the period, and the acting was quite strong. I was also surprised that a small story like this would feel so impactful on a psychological level. Very interested to see what the team behind this project does next. ... full review

I was very impressed by the story and how well it was performed. The lead actress was fabulous. Not having read the book, I was surprised on how easy it was to fallow the story. Jane kept me at the edge of my chair. I highly recommend this play, it was awesome. I enjoyed every minute of it!... full review

When someone's perception, formerly grounded in fantasy, begins to experience reality, the new surroundings are foreign and frighteningly unsettling. That obscurity of what is real and what is truth was captured quite effectively in this production.... full review

The Yellow Wallpaper was a short story I read once and it was rather memorable for it's strong language and look into mental illness and a housewive's limitations at the time. So before going to see it, I was quite curious to see how the director properly conveys the original premise. Through the impressive performances from the cast especially the main lead, Tatum Langton The Yellow Wallpaper works well as an adaptation as well as remaining relevant with its themes. ... full review

Doing Fringe is tough - the fast load ins and outs - the crazy times that your show is on - the inability to really work on tech, but I must say, this was absolutely worth the time to see. A great psychological thriller, well adapted, wonderful backstage animations and the amazing performance by Tatum Langton. ... full review
