She Stoops to Scandal

A NoHo Arts theatre review of “She Stoops To Scandal,” written by Chambers Stevens, performed by Darbianna Dinsmore and directed by Megan Ford-Miller at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.

“She Stoops To Scandal” is a one-women, multi-character Jane Austinesque show about a young woman of modest means, Grace, who by chance meets the second richest woman in the country when her carriage smashes into Grace’s house in the little town where she lives. In true Regency fashion, Grace, whose hair is unfashionable short due to an eagle ripping it out when she was a child, is befriended by this rich and lovely lady and transported to London, where she has many adventures and meets the man of her dreams. Because, of course she does.
“She Stoops To Scandal” is a wonderful blend of “Sense and Sensibility” and “Pride & Prejudice” with a little bit of “Northanger Abbey” thrown in for good measure. Characters from the books comically make their appearances, but this is an all-new story. Grace
