"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 unspoken past of many a Fringe performer.

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.
