←Recommendations of DALLOWAY

Smart, layered, and well-paced, the script feels thoroughly contemporary, with strong leading characters and sharp dialogue. I particularly enjoyed Sally Seton. She's strategic, queer, unapologetic, and perfectly drawn. Great work!

At a climactic moment, Joelle writes the stage direction "Everyone falls in love with everyone just a little bit." I can't think of a better summation of this floridly romantic script, a tone poem of yearning for freedom, a quiet rage against the social spheres of the late Victorian era. Familiarity with "Mrs. Dalloway" is not required, though it does illuminate the script in subtle ways, gesturing towards Woolf's own recurring themes of autonomy and desire. This one sticks with you.

This is an incredible play about the age of becoming in an era when one is unable to be their true self. Sadly as true in 1890 as it is in 2025. I know little about the book Mrs. Dalloway or about Virginia Woolf herself and neither of those facts lessened my enjoyment of this great play. In fact, it made me more curious and interested in reading the book and learning about the author. This play is incredibly well constructed, cleverly written, and full of beautiful and poetic imagry.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dalloway at Florida Rep’s PlayLab. It’s as hilarious as it is smart in Lindsay’s capable hands. The language is rich and the theatrical ending took my breath away. It’s a gorgeous play that speaks directly to this moment. Read it, produce it! It deserves an audience.

I had the pleasure of seeing a staged reading of this charmer of a play, the imagined origin story of Virginia Woolf's upper middle class housewife Mrs. Dalloway. It's a frisky, funny, touching script about the joy of youth that takes you right back to being 17 and feeling all the feels of past grief, present passion and future possibilities. The Cotswolds positively bloomed in Lindsay's telling. A long life in professional theaters (and hundreds of college theaters) seems to be assured.
