A mini-review of dancingstorysinger's Confessions of a Fairy's Daughter by Fringe social media liaison Sabrina Cataldo.
Confessions of a Fairy’s Daughter is a beautifully written and acted show that follows Alison Wearing’s evolution from an innocent child who doesn’t realize her father is gay, to a teen who holds this information as a dirty secret, to woman who accepts, understands, and embraces her dad for who he is and, in doing so, finds and frees herself.
The costuming illustrates the peeling off of layers and the evolution of both father and daughter, and the fun soundtrack – ranging from show tunes to opera to disco – adds to both the drama and humour of the story. The show has garnered such a positive response from audiences that Wearing has turned it into a book from four perspectives: hers, her father’s, her mother’s, and how they all view the situation now.
There are many good reasons why this show is drawing larger audiences and standing ovations. Add it to your list!
