Fabulation Reviews
The Boston Globe- Recommended
"...As a romantic interest, Guy is a tad too perfect, and the ending of “Fabulation” a bit too tidy. But there’s no denying it warms the heart. It feels like a homecoming."
WBUR- Recommended
"...Nottage's storytelling is in good hands with director Dawn Simmons, the co-founder and artistic director of Front Porch Arts Collective. The complexity of Undine—her insatiable thirst for success (inspired by her love of Edith Wharton's "The Custom of the Country," which details the social ascent of Undine Spragg), her harshness toward others, and later, a slow softening—is thoughtfully executed. There's an excellent scene where Undine recalls the night Hervé entered her life. Warm red lighting, sensual staccato choreography, and Undine's narration convey how quickly his charms enraptured her."
New England Theater Mirror- Highly Recommended
"...But Nottage has written a satire, not a kitchen sink drama, and the play’s strength lies in its humor. Cox is a smart performer, whose biting commentary and droll delivery is laugh out loud funny. Aided by Simmons’ fluid direction and an excellent supporting cast, Undine’s attitude toward her descending fortune seems more like an observer rather than a participant. Given how far she’s fallen, who can blame her?"

"...There is a lot about the Lyric's Fabulation or, The Re-Education of Undine to recommend itself. From its design to its cast, all of the elements of this show come together to make a top-notch production."
