Reviews of One Flea Spare

“Standouts Abigail Duclos, BC ‘23, as Darcy Snelgrave and Kiana Mottahedan, CC ‘26, as Morse both are able to breathe life into the sometimes stiffly written dialogue, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the roles.”

— Catherie Sawoski, Columbia Spectator

“[Duclos’s] standout moment comes when delivering a hefty monologue on the fire in which her entire body was burned. It would be easy here to let the words, descriptive and detached, lay flat, and yet Duclos imbues it with a devastating suffering, letter small gasps escape involuntarily even as she attempts to stay composed.”

— Catherine Sawoski, Columbia Spectator

“[The killing of Darcy Snelgrave] was most definitely our favorite [scene], truly showing the talent of all actors, but specifically Senior Thesis actor Abigail Duclos. Mrs. Snelgrave bursts in, dying from the plague and covered in tokens… This scene was captivating and tied us to the characters and their backstories while ultimately ripping them out of our grasp.”

— Jessica Tsang and Lily Mooney, BWOG
