In January 2021 Dora was funded by Arts Council England to develop 'ADHD The Musical: Can I Have Your Attention Please?'. Working with a Neuroscientist from Goldsmiths University to inform the research process the outcome of the project was a musical comedy lecture about navigating a late ADHD diagnosis in a world designed for a neurotypical brain. With the help of Dolly Parton, Julie Andrews and Cher the piece addresses feelings of shame and attempts to unpack feelings of failure. The piece was selected for the Liverpool Theatre Festival 2021 and will be performed again in November supported by Creative Arts East.

Audience feedback
A beautiful, poignant, moving and incredibly important ride from start to finish. The humour, songs, dancing combined with the gorgeous rawness and honesty was truly special. You had me laughing then crying and then a combination of both. Thanks for sharing your heart and soul and boundless talent. I learnt so much and resonated with so many topics and emotions.
The shame bear was genius and involving us in your story and songs made it our story, a universal sharing of being a human being and trying to tackle the confusing thing that is life and trying not to take it all seriously.
Review Liverpool Theatre Festival
Her talents as a performer, with her showcasing some nifty dance moves along with some strong vocal talents. And she has the ability to have audiences laughing one minute and almost wiping away tears the next. A show like this needs a versatile performer to tackle a serious subject with a mix of humour and candour. And that’s what Dora achieves here.

So relatable, so moving, and it gave me the validation I needed to know I'm not alone in this no matter how much judgement I receive I AM ENOUGH. Thank you
