Samantha Dunne • Amateur Company
About Samantha Dunne
In Samantha Dunne: Strangers I Know, a woman eulogises her own funeral — not because she is really dead, but because her past selves are. To move on, she throws a memorial attended by all the people she no longer talks to. This solo show blends comedy and theatre as Samantha navigates how to let go of who she was and find herself through the people she lost. It runs for 50 minutes at Olive Studio and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets start from £7.50.
Why see this show?
The premise is quietly brilliant: a funeral for past selves, attended by strangers who once knew you. Dunne turns a deeply personal idea into something that should resonate with anyone who has reinvented themselves.
