Notes

AWARDS & PRESS Jennifer Blocksidge Memorial Award recipient 2021 The Advertiser's Top 10 rising South Australian theatre stars 2024 Featured in Murray Bramwell's Best of 2024 in Best Lead Performances (Female) & Best Adelaide Production for The Almighty Sometimes by Theatre Republic REVIEWS The Almighty Sometimes - Theatre Republic 2024 "Emily Liu is a name to watch... Liu rises to the challenge with what appears to be an effortless portrayal of Anna and her fractured journey into adulthood... her journey through the piece is beautifully paced, laced with humour, venom and vulnerability that leaves the audience with a sense of helplessness and hope. An extraordinary achievement. ★★★★★" - Glam Adelaide "Liu delivers an emotionally charged performance as Anna, embracing the complexities of her character with a wisdom beyond her years. Effortlessly switching between the extreme highs and suffocating lows of Anna’s personality, Liu’s captivating performance captures the beauty and vulnerability of a young mind held hostage by an illness it never wanted and cannot control... her portrayal of Anna’s experiences will resonate with audiences long after the curtain draws to a close. ★★★★★"- ArtsHub "The small but excellent ensemble all give superb performances. Emily Liu in the main role gives a flawless and fully rounded performance... ★★★★★" - The Clothesline Death in a Statesman- Debase 2022 "Playing Elliot, this production marks Emily Liu’s professional theatre debut. The young performer played the angsty standoffish teen with plenty of side-eyes and a very bold and unabashed presence. The performance was a graceful and passionate depiction of an outwardly strong but hurting teen.... Liu certainly shows the markings of a powerhouse performer..." - TheatreHaus
