Here's what artists and audiences are saying about Suddenly 50- "Suddenly 50 resonated so profoundly that I was moved to tears and cheers. Nicolle Nattrass delivers a poignantly funny and insightful edification on what it means to find yourself at the middle of your life. It's a tour-de-force performance that's not to be missed by the young, old and everyone in between." Karen Jeffery , Artistic Director Sunset Theatre
"Suddenly 50 takes its audience on a roller coaster ride of emotions, which is my favourite kind of theatre! It is a deeply personal yet universal story beautifully told by its immensely engaging and talented creator and performer, Nicolle Nattrass.” Julia Mackey, Actor/Playwright (Jake's Gift)
“The words gotta dance and these do. You Go NATTRASS, double crank that truth, comedy, shotgun---and as the song says "hit me with your best shot... FIIIIRE AWAAAY” David Gow, Playwright/Actor/Director (Cherry Docs)
“This is a gorgeous piece of storytelling – smart, poignant, hopeful and deeply affecting. Nicolle is a masterful writer and performer and Suddenly 50 is something very special.” Michaela Jeffery, Playwright WROL (Without Rule of Law)
"Nicolle’s work in “Suddenly 50'' is grounded, compelling, and energized. Raw, funny, engaging storytelling with a deep depth of honesty. Highly recommend it. Great writing, excellent performance, superb show." Brendan Bailey, Actor/Playwright (Sawney's Legacy)
