About this show
Some might say Georgina is a narcissist, but she prefers the term Soprano. Trapped in the echo chamber of her own vibrato, Georgina is forced to confront her greatest obstacle: herself. 'Satirical gold' (Spectator). 'Effortless comedy timing' (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). 'Loud' (her neighbours). Hysterical Soprano is her solo debut and magnum opus. Directed by Will Jackson. 'Thomas shows a huge amount of potential' (TheUpcoming.co.uk).
