Our favourite Antipodean storyteller Sarah Kendall is taking her 2017 Edinburgh Fringe show One-Seventeen on tour across the UK for the summer of 2018.

One-Seventeen is a blistering hour of storytelling from the creator and star of the hit BBC Radio 4 series Australian Trilogy. It it Sarah addresses both childhood and motherhood across three generations of her family.

The Scotsman said Sarah: “will make you burst out laughing, she will make you gasp with horror and at moments you will find it hard not to cry. Kendall’s narrative is fluent, simply told and astonishingly beautiful in places. Like life her tone can turn in an instant, taking you from sadness to joy in a moment. She’ll make you laugh, she’ll make you think. And as you leave the theatre and walk out under the stars Kendall’s stories will still be running around in your head.”

One-Seventeen tour will begin with five dates at London’s Soho Theatre from 15th-19th May 2018, before heading on to the following venues:

1st June – Norwich Playhouse – tickets

2nd June – Warwick Arts Centre, Coventry – tickets
