Review by JOEL BAILEY

What I liked

Elise Dewsberry is a tour-de-force adroitly mining the carnival-ride persona of Queen Mab in all her mercurial, self-perceived glory. Scott Guy’s book and lyrics are a perfect marriage with Dewsberry’s considerable talents. Guy’s use of composer Jacques Offenbach’s romantic compositions are clever and feel organic to supporting the story. This little gem is not to be overlooked.

What I didn't like

The engaging grandiosity of this piece begs for and deserves a larger venue with production values to lift up the experience for all.

My overall impression

A wonderful synergy between performer and material.
