Rich with specificity and upheld by a cunning, razor-sharp wit - Dupe is the kind of complex, morally complicated narrative I've been craving in the theater. It's extremely funny even as it pushes buttons and weighs large conceptual ideas, but it never sacrifices its character development for jokes. The central four characters are immensely rich and well-defined. Adrienne never lets us settle into one alignment - She constantly adds new details and layers, forcing us to reconsider where we stand among them. Brilliant work all around.

Dupe is an incredibly complex tour-de-force for 4 incredible women actors. Dupe weaves together the complexities of literary publication, trauma from family separation, and cultural appropriation. There are delightful misunderstandings between many of the characters that only add to the intrigue of the play.

I had the pleasure of seeing this play at the GPTC New Plays Conference in 2024, and it came across as incredibly complex and thought-out. It's a fascinating piece with humor and a lot of layers, touching on a lot of cultural issues.
