BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG (WIP)
SELL OUT SHOW AT EDINBURGH FRINGE 2025
A focus group. A pitch meeting. A multiverse imaginarium.
Having received critical acclaim for a show about grief, addiction and mental breakdown, Maxwell is stuck on how to up the ante with her next confessional solo show. She needs YOU for some intensive audience research: which of her personal traumas is most fundable, marketable and ripe for TV adaptation?
In an era hungry for the next smash-hit overshare, BABYFLEAREINDEERBAG kicks over the bucket of ideas Maxwell can’t yet bring herself to make a show about, interrogating the risk and cynicism in telling one’s own story onstage.
Written and performed by Hannah Maxwell
Technical, sound and lighting design support from Benji Huntrods
Dramaturgical support from James Rowland
With thanks to Queen Mary University
