In 2021 Hannah Maxwell moved back to the Home Counties to care for her terminally ill grandfather. But this show isn’t about that. It’s about France’s Eurovision star Barbara Pravi who’s just lovely.
In between cooking cleaning and Countdown Maxwell escapes into an intensifying fantasy of ballroom dances heartfelt ballads Parisian cafés fluent French and definitely-not-creepy plots to engineer a meetcute with a random foreign celebrity. It’s La La Land meets Mission Impossible meets Hannah’s nan.
Combining spoken-word video and chanson francaise NAN ME & BARBARA PRAVI sits you down at the kitchen table to talk through grief and care addiction and recovery and hope and coping in unprecedented times.
A solo storytelling show from the award-winning creator of I AMDRAM. Commissioned by Camden People’s Theatre and supported by Menagerie Theatre Company Queen Mary University of London Centre for Live Art Yorkshire The Vaults and Old Diorama Arts Centre. Made possible by generous support from Arts Council England.
