Shadows of a Girl

Incredibly touching, earnest piece of art. Such a poetic and breathtaking performance - and the writing is gorgeous. The visual effects were incredibly effective for how minimalist it seems. Such a strong, personal solo show.... full review

Overall, I was truly blown away. When I think of one word to describe Shadows of a Girl, the word that comes to mind is honest. This was such a sincere performance, with an honest script, the lights boosted the story in the most honest way - I felt like I was experiencing diary entries and living moments from Lucie's childhood with her. The energy in the room was electric, Lucie had us all wrapped around her finger. There wasn't a single moment that I wasn't totally immersed in Lucie's world for that entire hour. She is a star. A true, classic charmer. I'm so lucky I was able to see this show. ... full review

I attended this one-woman show with my mother. A decision made with intention and gratitude. Experiencing a show about mothers and daughters and the nuances in between felt incredibly intimate, and my mother and I were thankful to be invited into Ms. Lucie’s story.... full review

Beautifully lyrical, veering from tender to terrifying. Papia slips effortlessly between the personas of adult daughter and little child, creating intimacy and immediacy with the audience. ... full review

This play was absolutely beautiful in every sense of the world. I was deeply touched by every word that was said, because it clearly came from a deeply vulnerable and honest place. I highly commend this fantastic mother-daughter team for taking such sensitive subject material, and displaying it so bravely on the stage, I felt so honored to be a witness to the visceral experiences that phenomenal actress courageously shared with the audience. This is a must see show at this year's Fringe Festival in my opinion, particularly if you're looking for an emotionally enriching and powerful theatrical experience.... full review

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
