One-Woman Rock Musical; Footsteps of a Nobody, goes to J Studios in Fitzroy

Footsteps of A Nobody A powerful one woman rock-musical both written, directed and performed by Donna Williams, author of the international best seller, Nobody Nowhere; Autobiography of an Autistic Girl . 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, 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. REVIEWS OF DONNA'S 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.
