Hannah Hauxwell – No Through Road
Venue:
Pateley Bridge & Bewerley Memorial Hall, Park RoadPateley Bridge, HG3 5JS
Hannah’s story, subject of many TV documentaries, has had us spellbound for decades. This Gig Theatre Production from Karen and Shelagh is a delightfully thought-provoking mix of spoken word, song and visual imagery illustrating Hannah’s struggle with the elements through her life-enhancing and uplifting story.
Written specifically for the Edinburgh Fringe 2019 and performed most recently during a full run at the 2021 PBH Virtual Free Fringe, the show “No Through Road” has received outstanding reviews such as: “A beautifully sensitive piece chronicling the life of a remarkable woman.”
The 55-minute show is a mix of new spoken word and original song interspersed with popular music from her life from the likes of Gene Austin, The Ink Spots, Roger Williams and His Orchestra, Edith Piaf and of course Vaughan Williams…which provide an opportunity to reminisce and for the audience to participate, visually illustrated by a pastiche of clips from the many TV documentaries and other relevant visual imagery.
