When Olivia moves to a small town in the Overberg, her quiet curiosity attracts a mischievous friend: Kay, the girl with the scar, who gives her the nickname “Owl.” Her impulse to follow the rebel leads to uncharted waters. Jon Keevy’s A Girl Called Owl is a South African coming of age story. It spotlights innocence lost, creativity stifled, and love misunderstood. Larissa Crafford-Lazarus switches seamlessly between Owl and Kay and a slew of other characters.
Acclaimed critic Robyn Sassen writes: “She’s bold, she’s feisty, she’s convincing and she takes ownership of the work with a potency and a sense of vulnerability that will bring tears to your throat as you watch her.”

Phoebe Taplin, for the Reviews Hub, London, writes:
"In the skilled hands of the Crafford-Lazarus sisters, it becomes a theatrical tour-de-force. ... Larissa Crafford-Lazarus is endlessly watchable as she deftly conjures the complicated reality of Olivia’s early life and love. "
