The Terrible Legend of Victoria Woodhull

A beautiful choice in the wake of all the positive #CHANGES in storytelling in our artistic and public forums. Women are doing amazing things in the world, and always have been! Victoria Woodhull is a spectacular example of this, and her story deserves to be told, and audiences were treated to a personalized journey set within a context of one of Victoria's many skills! (Don't want to give a spoiler!) Kudos to the playwright for such a magnificent choice, and Ashley..well she looked just like the real picture! I was totally drawn in.... full review

This play has potential, but it needs work, particularly of the structure. I was drawn to the play because I wanted to learn more about Victoria Woodhull, but I learned very little.... full review

It was an inspiring piece of theater that reminds women of how far we have come in our struggle for women's rights and how far we still have to go.

It raises more questions than it resolves and skips completely her "Second Act"---in England, with her 3rd husband. (She died there at 88!) When that play is written, ASHLEY FORD will still be the girl for the job! She fields everything that's thrown her way, from a silly "prologue" as a modern actress "channeling" Victoria (which wastes 5 of the 40 minutes) to Victoria herself "channeling" both her younger sister and her nemesis, Susan B Anthony, too much. The theatre space itself is unusually uninviting, a long tunnel which could have been configured more intimately that does a lot to alienate t... full review
