I, Amdram at Orange Tree Theatre

89 years. 172 different productions. I am the first female member of my family to not appear in a Thalians show for a reason other than pregnancy.

Amateur dramatics. The hidden history of many a performance artist.

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, I, AmDram minds the gap between the identities we assert and the worlds we leave.

This warm, funny and beautifully written solo show was a highlight of the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe, and is a must-see for anyone who has ever done anything for the love.
