Description

A debut storytelling solo show, recounting a prodigal's return to the musty vibrancy of amateur dramatics.

Step-ball-changing between quaint suburb and queer city, I, AmDram minds the gap between the identities we assert and the worlds we leave.

I, AmDram is about the artist's individual experience, of a particular amateur dramatics society, in a specific New Town, in an unremarkable swathe of Middle England. There may be deeper reflections upon the value of different art forms and labours, our native cultures and our learnt politics, and the tangle of tensions associated with the places we grew up.

Reviews

"BEAMING after [I, AmDram]... A must-see for anyone who's ever experienced amdram life, ESPECIALLY if you ever got turned down to play the role you wanted because it was a 'man's part'" * Bechdel Theatre *
