I, AmDram
From four generations of leading ladies comes one queer Londoner, sharing a story of return and reconciliation -- with her hometown, cultural inheritance and secret love of musical theatre. Step-ball-changing between suburb and city, Maxwell minds the gap between the identities we assert and the worlds we leave.
Supported by Arts Council England. Developed through Starting Blocks at Camden People's Theatre. The artist is honoured to enjoy the support of the Welwyn Thalians Musical and Dramatic Society (est 1929).

Presented by: Hannah Maxwell and Anna Thomas Productions
As a first time writer, producer and solo performer, Thomas saw great success in the sell-out seasons in Adelaide and Edinburgh of her 2018 debut one woman show, "How to Drink Wine Like A Wanker". A novice in the arts industry, Thomas is enjoying the trials and tribulations of presenting and performing, expanding her repertoire to managing the Adelaide Fringe seasons presented at Treasury 1860.
Maxwell’s first full-length solo show, I, AmDram, was hewn from a sizeable block of autobiographical stories about her hometown and it's attendant amateur theatre scene. Off the back of a successful 2019 Edinburgh Fringe season, this 5 star show is heading on its first international tour.
Meeting in Edinburgh, Thomas fell in love with Maxwell's performance, and so began the Adelaide Fringe journey!
