The audience loved it, particularly enjoying the witticisms. It a high-quality Fringe piece that entertains with charm & style

A well-constructed and performed piece of theatre that portrays the quintessential humour of a 1920s literary icon.

It is a funny, but at times moving performance of one of America’s great writers.

A little disappointed. I love the witty biting writing of Dorothy Parker. Sadly, I think the actor portrayed her as a somewhat frumpish ladylike character. I think it would have improved the ambience if the actor had dressed according to the time. Or over as a character Dorothy Parker was a very biting feminist but I didn't feel that the actor portrayed this adequately.

Entertaining, well presented show
