"An extraordinary display of focus, memory and attention to detail, Ella Prince’s performance as 'Girl' in this staged adaptation of Eimear McBride’s novel is an absolute tour de force." - Jason Blake
"Ella Prince is sublime, her performance is urgent and finely honed. The tag genius can certainly be applied to Ella Prince for this one"
- The Buzz from Sydney
"Remarkable...powerful and heartbreaking. The all-female team behind the production deftly guides the audience through the nuances, intensity and brutal poetry" - Alt Media
"Erin Taylor making a name for herself as a director in the independent theatre scene with a knack for deft and emotionally recise world-building" - Time Out Sydney
"Flawlessly Executed...there's joy, there's laughter, there's a welcome wildness and revolution" - Sydney Arts Guide
Fierce, poetic and raw A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing speaks the experience of a young woman coming of age and will carry you into the heart, mind and body of a girl. Subjected to the forces of stultifying religion, predatory men and a pious mother, she will form in front of your eyes.
