        '... refreshing addition to the Fringe, proving that compelling theatre isn’t just the province of
   the young. With echoes of Alan Bennett's Talking Heads...gentle and funny but also probing
   and layering' 'The direction is sharp, with movement that feels purposeful and deliberate,
always moving the story forward' Highly Recommended - Fringe Review

'Women over 50 are under-represented in the stories told on the Fringe, and this show helps redress that imbalance by
showing us they can be frank, feisty and fabulous.' The Scotsman

'unique and thought-provoking play [delivered] with honesty and humour. This play tackles subjects rarely discussed at
     the Fringe – and very rarely in society in general: the invisibility of the older woman, that girls were (are?) taught to feel
   shame about their bodies, and that women who miscarry feel like they have failed as a woman. This honesty is paired
with brilliantly written and timed humour.'   Quintessential Review

“Thoroughly enjoyed ‘In the Lady Garden’. Julia Faulkner spot on… very funny Alan Bennett’ish script about
   childhood memories, sexuality, ageing, self-doubt/liberation. Very tourable with appeal not just limited to
   oldesters."

"In the Lady Garden was an exceptionally funny play that set out to challenge the idea that patriarchy is the norm.
Julia Faulkner delivers a riveting monologue… powerful." JENNIFER WALKER - AUDIENCE MEMBER

"Wonderful exploration of womanhood, ageing and informative experiences that shape our world views. Julia
Faulkner had us engaged, laughing and on the edge of our seats." IONE GEORGAKIS – AUDIENCE MEMBER
