Rachel Jones and Joanne Hartstone play the young and middle-aged Elspeth, respectively, with a wellspring of warmth and truth, whilst Katie O'Reilly is truly frightening as the young Molly who sees only reason - and herself - as mattering. He concludes that the play "may be philosophical in nature but it refuses to beat you over the head with its meaning or agenda. It simply presents us with the questions that we will continue to ask throughout our entire lives and presents them in a way that tickles both our curiosities and our funny bones." David (John Maurice) cares for Molly (Bridget Walters) Although the mainstream state and national press was complimentary, theatrical blogger Stephen Davenport found the show "confounding" and "an inspired, though garbled hotchpotch of themes" a view contradicted by fellow blogger Kryztoff Raw:Molly’s Shoes, Kryztoff Raw: Reviewing Adelaide :To be sure, this is a very modern style play; thoughtful, well researched in its writing, coherent if always demanding of one’s attention and compelling. Given its scope, Molly’s Shoes needs to be recognised for that brilliance alone.
