God Didn't Give Me a Week's Notice is a 15-minute documentary by Richard Dailey about Margaret Holloway, also known as "The Shakespeare Lady" of New Haven, Connecticut.
[1] Richard Dailey attended Bennington College at the same time as Margaret Holloway.
As reported in the Yale Daily News, December 7, 2001:[2] Set to jazzy music, the film features Holloway dramatically reciting several pieces from Euripides, Shakespeare and Chaucer.
The Yale Daily News reported that the Dec. 9 2001 benefit screening at York Square Cinemas on Broadway was an exception.
In the documentary, lines from Holloway's 1980 thesis run sporadically across the bottom of the screen.
