I'm shocked I hadn't heard of Victoria Woodhull before-- but if there was ever a time to share her story, it is NOW. If you enjoy watching a skilled performer play strong women from history (and one modern one!) with humour and heart, AND you want to learn something new, this is the show. It's a tight show, just under and hour, and Theo Salter's script Ashley Ford's performance, and Sean Harris's direction will keep you engaged from start to finish. ... full review

This is the best one woman play I've seen. Ashely Ford's performance hooked me right off the bat, and Theo Salter's writing was smart and engaging. These two have a bright future, and I look forward to seeing where they go! ... full review

Entertaining, educational, and funny, with some surprise visits from other women from the past! ... full review

Really incredible play, with an amazing performance by Ashley Ford as Victoria Woodhull! Theo Salter's writing is just perfect and he is someone to watch out for in this town. I haven't been to a one woman should in awhile, and this play got me right back into them!... full review

Ashley Ford’s ability to draw you into the character of Victoria Woodhall and the events that shaped Victoria’s life displayed her incredible ability as an actress and then to continue with the other characters each in their own right an important part of the history lesson. An excellent performance. Well worth seeing ... full review
