Nan, Me & Barbara Pravi
It's 2021, and Hannah Maxwell has moved back to the suburbs to care for her bereaved grandmother. But this show isn’t about that. It’s about France’s Eurovision star Barbara Pravi, who’s just lovely.
In between cooking, cleaning and daytime television, Maxwell escapes into an intensifying fantasy of ballroom dances, fluent French and definitely-not-creepy plots to engineer a meet-cute with a random foreign celebrity. It’s La La Land meets Mission Impossible with some concerning undertones of Baby Reindeer.

Presented by: Plotnek Productions and Joanne Hartstone
Hannah Maxwell is a writer, performer & storyteller. Her autobiographical work offers a unique blend of influences from theatre, performance art, stand up, spoken word and musicals. It crosses into solo shows, performed essays, podcasts, television and radio. It is hyperspecific, playful and idiosyncratic. Accessibly radical, it remarks on the unremarkable. It is nonchalantly queer, because she is. There’s a bit of song and dance. Your mother would love it.
Joanne Hartstone is a South Australian theatre maker, performer, playwright, director, producer and presenter, specialising in international theatrical collaborations, live theatre & cabaret, and immersive/site-specific events. Joanne has been presenting work in the Adelaide Fringe since 2006.
