“a bright central performance from Caitlyn Calfas”
“Caitlyn Calfas displays excellent characterisation and emotion throughout her portrayal of this interesting historical figure.”
“Calfas is a simply astonishing actress and singer. She performs all of these intensely emotional songs where she really showcases her vocal strength and ability.”
At the heart of IrrePRESSible is a tale of two strong women, two hundred years apart, on either side of the hungers and whims of the tabloid press. The show centres on the life of the world's first celebrity, Emma Hamilton, seen through the eyes of a present-day journalist transported back in time. But this is no simple biopic. IrrePRESSible is a searing social commentary, a tale of blossoming female friendship, and an hour of fun.
