Thursday 3 December 2009

Saturday 20th Feb 2010, 8pm. Produced by Aspinauts Players in Association with Walking Into Bars, FOOTSTEPS OF A NOBODY is a powerful one woman rock-musical both written and performed by Donna Williams, author of the international best seller, Nobody Nowhere; Autobiography of an Autistic Girl and musically backed by The Aspinauts. This is a unique opportunity to witness the author herself perform a story that has changed the lives of millions. Through vibrant song, characterisations, gestural signing, evocative spoken word, and musically supported by the band, The Aspinauts, Donna takes us on a journey from a seemingly deaf, psychotic, ’feral’ child to life on the streets and ultimately on to her fight for equality among others. Show runs 8-9pm. REVIEWS OF DONNA WILLIAMS’ WRITING: She allows us to understand our own perceptions as never before. NEW YORK TIMES Evocative, poetic, compelling, shocking, gut wrenchingly moving. WEEKEND REVIEW Deserves every superlative a reviewer can muster. THE GLOBE AND MAIL Powerful enough to make one reassess what it means to be human. MODE By turns fascinating and harrowing.
