You can’t help but take a sharp intake of breath when Danusia steps up to the microphone. Offstage she is a shy, modest and self-effacing girl content to watch and listen on the sidelines. Then the magic happens. As she starts to belt out the old standard “A Change is Gonna Come” her whole being is transformed, channelled into a masterful, world-weary voice that cuts through the hot summer air straight into the hearts of the listener.
"Danusia’s naive, sometimes edgy optimism is stunningly likeable"
“Our eponymous heroine is played with an infectious, nervy energy by fiercely likeable Danusia Samal…"
"Ground-breaking performance by Danusia Samal"
"The performances are universally excellent. Danusia Samal is the obvious standout”
“Samal is outstanding as the moody teenager, truanting from school and taking refuge in fantasy - twitching, texting, pulling faces and shrugging.”
"Danusia Samal always sings with her heart and you can tell by the joy in her face that this is an artist who clearly enjoys every minute of every performance. Even when not singing her own material, Danusia brings a sincerity to other peoples work which makes it her own."
