Abbey Glover embraces her Fringe debut with a playful, poetic and poignant solo show exploring relatable topics through a refreshing new lens. 

Watching Lucy and Friends is how I imagine a halluncinatory drug trip.

Based on Stephen King's gripping novella 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption' and one of the best-loved films of all time, The Shawshank Redemption has a lot to live up to. And it does...mostly.
