Press Reviews

"Robustly entertaining… in charting the social fall and moral rise of Undine Barnes Calles… Fabulation subverts comic and sentimental glibness with punchy social insights and the firecracker snap of unexpected humor. A sense of blurred lines between aspiration and actuality is given ingeniously varied life throughout."
— The New York Times

"Outrageously hilarious… Fabulation or, The Re-Education of Undine… will keep you laughing from start to finish. It takes on stereotypes about race, class and gender, yet remains poignantly transformative."
— DC Metro Theater Arts
