Hannah Camelleri - Dinner Hannah Show

Delightfully realised sketch comedy with a sound of clowning... I can get around it. 'Dinner Hannah Show' takes us behind the scenes of a theatre with an actor, an actress, a tech person, and a mysterious dancer who appears once, as an interlude – all played by Hannah Camelleri. 

Well, there’s a little help from the audience. At various points, Camelleri drafts the audience into roles within the scene, taking a risk inherent to audience participatory shows. Will people be up for it? Will the show buckle? Here, it pays off; Camelleri improvises off any and all responses with absolute verve, as if it was scripted the whole time. 

The stage is set with simple black blocking and brought to life with Camelleri’s splendid performances, as she fully inhabits each character. When she breaks the fourth wall, she does it with hilarity – culminating in a melodramatic and pitch-perfect moment at the end. Its theatre-about-theatre wrapped up in a hilarious, entertaining hour.
