# Hannah Maxwell: I, AmDram

For musical theatre fans and haters alike, don’t miss the return of this award-winning love letter to hometown, family, and the cult of English amateur dramatics.

Join Hannah Maxwell for a joy-filled hour of amdram anecdotes, musical parodies and very basic choreography, telling the painfully-true story of her final year with her family’s community theatre company; from her woeful audition for My Fair Lady, to coming out as gay (less traumatic).

I, AMDRAM has been performed 150+ times, charming audiences across the globe.

**Hannah Maxwell: BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG**

A focus group. A pitch meeting. A show like no other. The sell-out sleeper hit of Edinburgh Fringe lands in Adelaide, clipboard and clicker at the ready.

Maxwell needs her next autobiographical theatre show to be a rampant success. She needs YOU for some intensive audience research: which of her personal traumas is most likely to get adapted by Netflix?

In an era hungry for the next smash-hit overshare, BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG kicks over the bucket of ideas Maxwell can’t yet bring herself to make a show about, interrogating the risk and cynicism in telling one’s own story onstage.
