When Hannah Wilkinson's boyfriend told her about a surprise date, she never imagined a tribute band specialising in her favourite movies
I questioned if this could all be a fever dream, says Hannah ‘You’re never going to guess what I’ve got planned for tonight,’ my partner, Bren, told me, grinning like a Cheshire cat. It was July 2024, and he had been teasing me with this statement for weeks. Each time I’d hazard a guess but would get no closer to deciphering the surprise. I started to imagine the unthinkable: that he’d signed me up for a Tough Mudder.
My partner learned of my love for Shrek early in our relationship, Hannah explains I’ve always used Shrek as an emotional support tool. Whether sick, sad or overwhelmed by the choice of what to watch on Netflix, I’ll stick Shrek on knowing that for the next hour and a half, all of my troubles are but a distant memory. Perhaps it’s childhood nostalgia, the perfect casting, innuendo-laden humour – or a combination of all those things that keeps me returning for more.
