A fair-skinned woman, wearing black shorts and a black waistcoat, stands in a constricting shroud of paper (perhaps representing paperwork) on a bare, industrial-looking stage. This is Andi Snelling in her solo show 'Happy-Go-Wrong' at fortyfivedownstairs.

On its 10th anniversary this play is as silly and entertaining as it was a decade ago.

A debut collection that explores identity through various techniques and modes.

Four panels. Two of them are colour photos of a man and a woman, the third is of a woman in black and white. Fourth panel is cover of a book, 'The Brownout Murders' which features a woman wearing a green stack hat.
