Highly Sensitive
WORLD PREMIERE
We are primed to believe that extroverted speakers can be trusted, and that sensitivity is a weakness…but are we selling ourselves short? In her highly-anticipated solo stage show, writer and performer Hannah Jane Walker will use stories, games and poetry to investigate toughness, authority and how weakness might just be our strongest future resource.
