A joy-filled hour of backstage anecdotes, musical parodies and very basic choreography, drawn from a century of Maxwell's community theatre ancestry. Winner of Best of Theatre Weekly Award 2025.

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.
