Optimistic: Elizabeth Holmes

A very talented actor, putting on a great show - audience engaged throughout as she tells a most interesting story.

A slightly odd but captivating performance. There is no doubt that the actor is incredibly talented- to flawlessly memorise a whole hours worth of word for word quotes and act them out was fascinating. Quite a small audience which was a shame as I truly believe the actor was worth a full house. We came to Edinburgh for a different show which ended up being dreadful and booked this last minute as a filler- well, thank goodness we did as it made the Edinburgh trip entirely worth it. Well done! And hope to see you at another Fringe performance next year

Sarah’s embodiment of Holmes is phenomenal, the display of her spiral and interpretation of messages is mind boggling. Would see again.

A very strong performance from a very talented actor. This was probably the best Fringe play I saw. A gripping and intense play that kept my full attention throughout. Well done Sarah Deller!

Wow, what a great performance! Definitely a must see of this year's fringe. The 1-hour long performance captured what seemed impossible- the story, the emotion and the tragedy of the whole Theranos saga.

One of my favorites this year! I was fascinated with the Elizabeth Holmes case and I knew I had to see this when I read that her story was being told in verbatim theatre style. Deller’s phenomenal vocal technique and attention to Holmes’ mannerisms puts you in the room with Elizabeth Holmes. An absolutely stunning (and at times unsettling, in the best way) performance. Looking forward to the work Sarah Deller does in the future!

If you've no idea who Elizabeth Holmes is, or even if you've seen all of the films and documentaries about the Theranos fraud, this is a powerful piece of theatre that you'll enjoy. Sarah's performance as Holmes is quite mesmerising, the spot-on vocal impression alone will make you gasp. The toxic relationship with Holmes's partner Sunny Balwani is explored, and in those moments Dellar's performance does make you feel some sympathy for her.
Clearly a ton of research has been done, and even if there may have been a tad too much verbatim reading off the screen for me, the right material was unearthed to give you an insight into the mind of the jailed ex-CEO and how she managed to cast a spell on their investors.

Fantastic, intense performance. A compelling story, incredibly acted with a nuanced performance covering a complex topic. The hour went by in a flash. Educational and engaging.

Absolutely incredible show by Sarah who didn't miss a beat throughout and we were totally hooked by her performance of Elizabeth Holmes. The hours and hours of research were evident and Sarah steered you through the story and the different characters really nimbly. A must see at the Fringe!

This show was fantastic! What a story, and presented with such energy. Can totally recommend : )

I hadn't appreciated how funny the Elizabeth Holmes story was until seeing this show. Would love it to be a longer show. Don't miss.

How do you go from being hailed as the next Steve Jobs to being federal prisoner number 24965-111? This brilliant one-woman show cracks the code of the notorious Theranos fraudster. Brilliant high octane performance. Sarah Deller almost sells the grift even though we know what’s coming. A MUST SEE!

Fast paced hour of brilliant theatre telling the story of Elizabeth Holmes using her own damning words. Deller has the bizarre accent to a T and delivers a perfect blend of the comically confident 'public eye' Holmes while also capturing the behind the scenes intimate inner workings of her mind and motivations. A Fringe must see!

A brilliant production and performance of an extraordinary story. Fast paced and engaging. Don’t miss it!

Live the emotions, mind and delusions of Elizabeth Holmes. Immersive and detailed. A real tour de force.

Strap yourself in ...
A fantastic one women tour de force, capturing the visuals, vocals, drama and extremes of a driven entrepreneur.
A great show.... go see it.

A proper Fringe show! A thrilling story and loved the production.

Such an incredible character study of Elizabeth Holmes, delivered with intensity and range and insight by Sarah Deller. I didn’t know anything about Holmes’ story and loved the way the text was compiled and delivered alongside the minimal but effective set. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic. If you’ve read “Bad Blood”, watched “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley” or have a general fascination with Elizabeth Holmes (who doesn’t?!) then you’ll love this retelling of the Theranos scandal.

If you love verbatim go see this show! If you hate verbatim this show will change your mind.
If you love a one person show go see this show. If you hate a one person show this performance will change your mind.
This show is fast paced, it keeps you engaged and fascinated by Elizabeth Holmes' story.
The acting from Deller is stellar and is an absolute must see! Don't miss this show!

An engaging solo performance that examines a high-profile case from a fresh, original perspective. Sarah Deller does an astounding job of representing Elizabeth Holmes’ highs, lows, and frenzies as reality comes creeping in and her world begins to spiral. Highly recommend!
