Rosalind Franklin does get a voice in this play, as portrayed by Lindsey Dorcus. Dorcus has clearly done her research: she captures the mannerisms that Franklin was known for, as well as her wit, curiosity and intellect.In their scenes together, Dorcus and Beckley show two minds and spirits communing in a way that few around them were able. (Chicago Stage Standard)
The wholly engaging cast make potentially bookish material vibrant and heartfelt. (Chicago Reader)

Anna Karenina
Buha inserts witty snippets, often delivered by Lindsey Dorcus (Betsy), to lighten up the drama. The deliciously flippant Dorcus downplays extramarital affairs as a casual happenstance. (The Fourth Walsh)
Lindsey Dorcus is particularly chilling as Betsy, Anna's supposed friend, who cuts her for doing what she has been urging her to do and does herself. (Every Goddamn Day)

The Monster in the Hall
Dorcus is fully capable of carrying Duck’s pain, stubbornness, and deluded optimism. Her physicality is as strong as the chorus’s, and is key to the chase at the plot’s climax. (Chicago Critic)
Each member of the cast is truly exceptional, despite exceptionally demanding material. As Duck, Lindsey Dorcus moves ably between moments where the much-put-upon girl is capable and wise beyond her years and those by which she is painfully undone and unprepared for the absurd things life throws at her.
