Christina (Poppy) Liu ’13 recently starred in an off off Broadway production of Glyn Maxwell’s new play The Gambler, based on the eponymous novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky suffered from a roulette addiction, and The Gambler is one of his funniest and most autobiographical works. Maxwell adapted The Gambler for Phoenix Theatre Ensemble, an award-winning company known for its groundbreaking presentations of both new and classic plays.
Since graduating from Colgate less than three years ago, Liu has also performed with the Drunk Shakespeare Society (earning a write-up in The New Yorker), and the original play she wrote for her senior thesis, This is not a Play about Sex, is still being performed at Colgate.
