Walking with Molly is uncomfortable, bold, impactful, and painfully relevant, and it lingers in your mind long after you have left the theatre.

I left the theatre with no words. Which, for a theatre reviewer, is unusual, but it’s a testament to the undeniable talent of Aimie Atkinson. Her vocals were electric and effortless, a commanding stage presence that captures the audience from the moment she steps onto the stage.
