Shelley and Lovelace Never Met

WINNER at Ottawa Fringe 2023:
“Best of Fest” (LabO venue)

Mary Shelley invented science fiction. Ada Lovelace invented computer science. But they never met.

…Isn’t that odd?

What on earth would they have said?

This show ran June 15-25, 2023, at the Ottawa Fringe Festival! Thank you so much for coming out to see us, to witness the hoopskirts, and to poke fun at Byron from beyond the grave.
