The original text
Written in 2014, The Something Prince is features a "stuck artist" and two therapists, and explores matters like the age-old bond between a mother and a son, the psyche of the artist, forbidden love and collective loss. William Kentridge, who has worked with her, called it a "talking, walking sculpture".[1]
A multi-media work, of which the critic Bruce Denhill said that it is "fragmented and non-linear and comprises monologues, complex dialogue and occasional asides directly to the audience, often in the form of spoken text messages".[2]
