The Life and Times of Daisy Forbes is a long-form lip-sync illustrating a show girl. And not just any showgirl, our last show girl. She is at a distinct crossroads in her life where she is being forced to make the decision of whether or not to continue pushing the rock up the hill as a performer and human being in this world. Via TV interviews, trashy pop, obscure musical theater scores and film scenes, Daisy channels these voices as a means of excavating the choices she has made, her feelings of abandonment and the uncertain future ahead.
“Magnetic… their physical control, movement work and commitment to the performance never wavers.”
– The Daniels Review
