It was absolutely brilliant! What a backdrop - the city, the boats and everything right on our doorstep. I hope it makes the whole of Hobsons Bay feel proud of our industrial background and that it brings us together with a sense of pride in what we can do.
Vicki Passmore, Hobsons Bay Resident. 'Art & Industry Festival'
I thought it was outstanding, of state-wide quality. I felt proud, being a local. It is showcasing the region well with style and great humour. It was very, very good.
Steve Bracks, former Premier of Victoria. 'Art & Industry Festival'
One of my favourite events so far this centenary year… an occasion where the audience was privileged to witness true genius at work.

Fearless and funny. Jackson 's talent and stage presence are undeniable.
Cameron Woodhead, The Age. 'The Baby Show'
It’s straight up moving and enormously entertaining.
Alison Croggan, The Australian. 'Dust'
It's sexy and full of mid-night black humour. Jackson tells how she fell for her lover, and how things turned sour, she grinds away at the car body in a shower of sparks, sets off explosions, rolls head first into the womb of a car boot, even dangles single footed from a rope to make a point. It’s the most perfect fusion of writing and performance.

Donna Jackson…looms amazingly in my imagination: surely she must be an inspirational angel, super vixen or both at once.
