Edinburgh Fringe Festival

Emma Gordon appeared in a brand new play called 'A Big Day for the Goldbergs' at the Edinburgh Festival playing the protagonist Michelle. This received Excellent reviews:

'Boyd and Gordon captivate with bubbly comic portrayals that convincingly create a play that is greater than the sums of its parts' The Stage Online
'..told exuberantly by its two actors, Elisa Boyd and Emma Gordon. The quality of their performances, most often in the taxing monologue medium, transforms what could be the hackneyed 'same old' into an engaging piece..Gordon is all grins and finesse as her character confides in the captive audience..' Broadway Baby
'Like a television soap, only infinitely better..the talented duo perform with such honesty and directness that within minutes, we are hooked. Whilst 'A Big Day for the Goldbergs' will not leave your heart racing, it will, like a warm drink on a cold day, leave you feeling pleasantly comforted.' Three Weeks
