The Guardian: Bridge Theatre's LUCY "beautifully nuanced"
“Elizabeth Strout’s first-person narrative, longlisted for the Man Booker prize in 2016 … fits perfectly on the stage. That’s partly because of the quality of the writing and partly because of a beautifully nuanced solo performance by Laura Linney.”
Michael Billington, "My Name Is Lucy Barton, Bridge Theatre, London — Laura Linney in an impressively pure adaptation," The Guardian, June 7, 2018.

Dublin Literary Award Shortlist: My Name is Lucy Barton
“The author tells a story both beautiful and haunting, revealed piecemeal through the memories and conversations of a mother and her adult daughter.… This is a deceptively simple novel that uses its sparseness to ensure each word and sentence are weighted to provide a taut, compelling novel.”
Lovely to find MY NAME IS LUCY BARTON on the shortlist for the 2018 International Dublin Literary Award.
