from Charles Adrian as Ms Samantha Mann

The much-loved spinster librarian Ms Samantha Mann returns to Buxton for the third time with the show that won her a Merv’ Spirit Of The Fringe Award at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe. This is heart-breaking, comedy storytelling about love, loss and bad poetry that takes us on a journey through awkwardness and missed connections to a kind of triumph of the will.

“What seems, at face value, to be a light-hearted comedy about an inept middle-aged spinster attempting poetry is actually a very, very clever piece of solo theatre… One of the best performances I have ever seen.”

“A minutely observed comic creation for those who like cringe humour.”

The Scotsman

“Four stars”

Fringe Guru

“Outstanding… Incredibly clever… A class act.”

Buxton Fringe Review

“Something like the secret life of Miss Prism imagined by Alan Bennett and performed by Hinge or Bracket.”
