I am predisposed to like everything by Holly Brinkman One of her three performances in the 2024 Fringe was my favorite in the festival. BODICE RIPPER, a dissection of romance novels, is a great idea. The introduction , a reading from a romance novel, an electric performance by Tanisha Harris and an improvised scene with Holly and Tanisha all pointed to how great this show could be. Unfortunately the three improvised stories by Holly were less successful.
