“Lois of the Lane has turned up in the depths of a studio to enact a series of children’s stories for what may or may not be a video session…
In a compellingly comic performance, she mimes the stories as the voice narrates, aided by a bottomless chest from which she plucks an infinite variety of props…
The ensuing whimsical tales soon turn from bouncily cute to darkly surreal where time rewinds back on itself and monsters lurk in adjoining rooms…
Played to a precision-timed soundtrack of sound effects and recorded characters... (with) song snippets and blasting collages, this is a show whose technical complexity is made to appear convincingly simple. Lois Tucker’s Chaplinesque approach to expression is remarkable, melding smooth physicality with the ability to instantly communicate emotion.”

Broadway Baby:
“Searching for words to describe Fabled is difficult, which is appropriate as Lois Tucker does not utter a single one for the entire hour she is on stage. Apparently stuck in some sort of bizarre storytelling multidimensional box, she proceeds despite her own confusion to act a series of different narratives told by a variety of distant and semi-interested narrators. Brief power cuts and interruptions in the stories suggest a slightly more sinister background to the entire situation…
Lois Tucker is clearly a very talented silent comic… Certainly I have seen nothing else in the Fringe quite like this...”
