'GET ON WITH IT!'

Last night went to see Amy Golden's 'Get on with it !' at the Pleasance. My emotions are running high...we experienced for me the magic of Theatre....Amy has written a play with music about her life and thoughts... which is remarkable in its own right...Amy has Cerebral Palsy... with a talented cast she took centre stage ...Acted her heart out.... if you knew her limitations... this was no mean feat... well conceived ... and staged with some beautiful songs and music from her heart.... Amy had a voice....With support from all her family and friends her strength and determination shone through..... in getting this on to the stage .... would not of missed this for the world
