I, AmDram
A hilarious ode to all things amateur dramatics.
Join Maxwell for a joy-filled hour of amdram anecdotes, musical parodies and very basic choreography, drawn from her family’s illustrious 95-year history with the Welwyn Thalians Musical & Dramatic Society.
Making her prodigal return to suburbia, Maxwell thinks back to the 2010 production of My Fair Lady: harmonising over dinner, rehearsing with mum, and coming out as gay (a less traumatic experience than her woeful audition for the role of Eliza).
This pitch-perfect piece of storytelling theatre has charmed audiences across the UK, Australia and Europe.

Hannah Maxwell is a writer, performer & storyteller. Her autobiographical work offers a unique blend of influences from theatre, performance art, stand up, spoken word and musicals. It crosses into solo shows, performed essays, podcasts, television and radio. It is hyperspecific, playful and idiosyncratic. Accessibly radical, it remarks on the unremarkable. It is nonchalantly queer, because she is. There’s a bit of song and dance. Your mother would love it.
