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.
