We all know Lindsay Lohan could act, sing, and dance, so it was just about time that she took all of those talents to the stage.

The actress made her stage debut in the West End, in a play called "Speed-the-Plow."

Since making the transition between the silver screen and stage is hard, Lohan was helped by a prompt when she forgot her lines.

She took on the role of Karen, who is a secretary. Her part in the Hollywood satire by David Mamet was originated by Madonna on Broadway in 1988.

Her performance gathered mixed reviews.

The Guardian's resident critic, Michael Billington said Lohan's stage performance was "perfectly creditable". He also said that Lohan seemed to hold the stage with ease.

The critic gave the play only two stars, but he wrote, "Whatever her colorful past, Lohan bring on stage a quality of breathless naivety that is far and away the most interesting thing in Lindsay Posner's otherwise tame, under-powered revival.

Tim Masters of BBC later on reviewed the play, when it showed on its first night. He said Lohan "put in a believable performance -- if a little stagey at times."

Masters' article on BBC said that while she did do a pretty good job at portraying the role of Karen, her performance was not entirely smooth, since she forgot her lines in the second act and had to be helped by a prompt.

However, some were not satisfied with her performance. Quentin Letts argued that Lohan's performance "is that of a not specially gifted schoolgirl."

Letts added that, "Acting in the West End is no joke," and that director Lindsay Posner "should be ashamed of himself."

A member of the audience even said that Lohan did not belong in the theater and that she should just go back to making movies.

Before the premier of the show, Lohan said that she felt "very lucky and excited and nervous" for her stage debut.

"I want to be known for my talents and my work that I create, rather than a tabloid sensation," Lohan said.
