It makes for a sweet and charming show as she takes us through her struggles. urtis’s story is full of energy and excitement at having found her place within a chaotic life, and for that she needs to be applauded.
— Everything Theatre (3 out of 5 stars)
“Believe in yourself, Hannah.” This is the show’s mantra and over fifty energetic minutes Hannah Rose Curtis exemplifies exactly what an autobiographical play should be, giving us unhinged access into her world.
