Infamous (Playscript)

Garlanded with spiky wit.

The history is fascinating but it’s the wit and humour in De Angelis’s script that really moves this play along . . . as entertaining as it is enlightening. It’s surprising, funny, and heartbreaking, like all the best stories should be.

Thoughtfully pitched dark comedy . . . exposes the desperately bleak options available to women at the time . . . An emotionally adroit and often very funny play.

Sharp, humane, funny and elegant, as you’d expect from the playwright April de Angelis. It roars along . . . but there is real pathos in it.

Neatly deployed . . . easy wit and [an] elegantly simple structure.

An enjoyable and elegant chamber piece.
