I enjoyed the show very much. It was a wonderful story, greatly written. and humorous. Darbianna Dinsmore was superb in her acting, especially with the various characters. Would love to watch it again....

I feel like "delightful" is one of those words one should use sparingly, but it perfectly describes Darbianna Dinsmore. She does wonderful work as multiple well-rounded characters in Chamber Stevens's fun genre-mashup (a bit of DOWNTON ABBEY meets the LIMELIGHT circa late 90's). Great storytelling, a nice twist (she's Luke's father.... no, no, it's better than that), and some cute dance moves! Check it out!...

Most one-person shows appeal because of the performer, and a few because of the material. This one wins with both. Chamber Stevens' charming and authentic-feeling 19th century British high-society-mystery/romance is expertly conveyed first person through a half dozen distinct character voices. Delightful for both the material and Darbianna Dinsmore's skillful and endearing performance.
I was dimly aware of the story wrapping around the events of Pride and Prejudice, sort of Rosencrantz-and-Guildenstern-Are-Dead-style, but I don't think any knowledge of that novel is necessary here.
Distinctly non-period music gives a fun modern bite to the story's transitions....

Darbianna was amazing! Outside of her phenomenal ability to slip into different characters throughout the performance, I was blown away by the scenes she created in the imagination of her audience with little more than the delivery of her words. Absolute magic! 🪄
I can’t wait to see another performance by this young actress! ...
