The Glass Menagerie
Melbourne Theatre Company
Laura Wingfield
As Laura, Millie Donaldson delivers a delicate and deeply felt performance. Embodying Laura’s shyness without reducing her to mere fragility; there’s an inner life here, a quiet intensity that becomes especially evident in her scenes with Harry McGee’s Gentleman Caller. - ArtsReview
Despite having the least to say, Millie Donaldson as Laura is simply outstanding. In stark opposition to the might and intensity of her mother Amanda, the stillness and reserve she generates allows Laura to appear more misunderstood than unreachable. The choice to keep Laura’s glass menagerie from focus is an incredibly powerful one in that it truly prevents Laura’s existence from veering into tragic and pathetic territory. - Australian Stage
‘Luminous’: A Star is Born - The Australian
Millie Donaldson impresses in her professional theatre debut as Laura. Often quiet and physically removed, sometimes taught with anxiety, she’s mostly unencumbered by the comic excess. - Limelight Magazine
In her professional theatrical stage debut, Millie Donaldson (a proud, disabled and neurodivergent performer) brings a very real energy to the peculiar and tender character – fragile and unique like her glass unicorn figurine. -Theatre Thoughts Australia
