Shadows of a girl was an absolutely stunning one woman show, beautifully performed by Lucinda Papia. The writing was extremely moving and evoked a vast array of emotions throughout the audience. Zoë Papias Direction was on point. I was very moved by this show and admire the bravery of this incredible Mother/Daughter duo. I cannot recommend this gorgeous piece of theatre enough.... full review

There is a writing technique called “stream of consciousness writing” where any and all thoughts are welcome and you get them down in your journal. Watching this show was like being shown Lucinda’s journal as she processes her grief. Thoughts and memories come in waves, and we are along for the ride. ... full review

Honestly, a great experience. To see Lucinda on stage is something to be admired. It all seems effortless as she spills her guts out on stage, but don’t think it’s all doom and gloom. She is funny and charismatic. She allows us to laugh with her and enjoy these stories and poems that are seamless - as she weaves in and out of grief and memories of happiness. She touches on poignant moments and heartfelt memories that we’ve all shared in one way or another with a loved one. The memories we all have with a loved one brings up many emotions and there’s something beautiful about how Lucinda gives us the ability to feel with her. There’s no pushing in the words written or performance given. She is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend seeing.... full review

What a riveting one-woman show. Lucinda took us down a path that we all feel sometime in our life when we lose someone we love. Her acting was superb and it felt so intimate, like we were sitting with her in her living room. Definitely a must see. Thanks for sharing you pain, joy and love with us.... full review
