Full Gallop

Full Gallop is a one-woman play[1] written by Mark Hampton and Mary Louise Wilson.[2] It tells the story of fashion icon Diana Vreeland and her return to New York City from a four-month escape to Paris after her public and scandalous firing from Vogue in 1971. It was first performed in 1993.[2]

Performance History

The play was first produced as a work in progress at the Bay Street Theatre Festival in Sag Harbor, New York in 1993 with Mary Louise Wilson as Diana Vreeland.[2] It had its world premiere in 1995 at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, with Wilson again as Vreeland.[2] She continued with the role in two New York City engagements, in 1995 at Manhattan Theatre Club and in 1996 at the Westside Theatre[2] directed by Nicholas Martin.

Mercedes Ruehl played the role of Vreeland in 2015 at The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego.[3]
