From the NYT's:
Played by Ms. Hulme-Beaman with the full-body expressiveness of a small child, Madeleine is clever, awkward, awfully lonely and terribly funny, too. On the farm where she lives with her brother and grandfather, the chickens are her closest confidants.
“I would talk to the chickens about everything — about Johnno, being a lady and the fearful passage of love that stood before me,” she tells us, majestic with the drama of her imagined romance.
Picture of innocence, right?
Hardly. Tightly wound, easily piqued, her humiliation quick to turn to fury, Madeleine is a bit of a sociopath. She really shouldn’t be left alone with animals. (Um, chickens? Watch out.)http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/09/23/theater/review-pondling-looks-deep-into-the-heart-of-a-disturbed-child.html?referer=
