Anna Emerson in The Times Diary:

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/arts/stage/edinburgh-festival/article4175243.ece

An Evening with Patti DuPont (La Favorita Freestival, St John’s) is a rather lovely spoof devised by Anna Emerson. Punters show up expecting an 84-year-old grand dame of Hollywood (nine husbands, 149 films) to regale them with salacious tales from Tinseltown. After a mishap in a plastic surgery suite, however, Patti is indisposed and Linda, her put-upon daughter (played by Emerson) has to deliver the show. Problems began during the previews, when a bloke showed up twice looking for Patti LuPone, a real-life Broadway star. They’ve continued with Fringe audiences taking issue with some of Linda’s wilder claims for her mom, like the bit when she says Patti doubled for Sean Penn in the film Milk. “I heard cries of disgust,” Anna tells us, “It’s pretty late in a clearly fictional life, but they still thought Patti was real.”
