Lohan made her stage debut in October 2014, starring in the London West End production of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow", a satire about the movie business. She portrayed Karen, the secretary of a Hollywood executive, in a role originally played by Madonna. Reviews of Lohan's performance were mixed, with the Associated Press describing critical reception overall as "lukewarm." "The Stage" said she was "out of her league" while "The Times" wrote that she "can act a bit" and "The Guardian" said she "holds the stage with ease."
