What the reviewers said
We have captured 2 published reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
High Heels Fron the Big Boot is a playful, but intelligently constructed, production, giving us a glimpse into the lives of notable Italian women. The framing of this, however, is most unusual.
— Rialto Arts (4 out of 5 stars)
What if you could hear the thoughts of women from the past directly from them? Or, at least, from a more or less accurate avatar of them, recreated thanks to some highly advanced technology?
