Only Bernadette

Only Bernadette
could launch her third volume of poetry MIMING SILENCE hours after being discharged from hospital
Only Bernadette
can give a bravura performance and look as sleek as an otter in brown velvet while shaking off the effects of a night of sedation
Only Bernadette
wouldn't be phased by a brief, unexpected gap in the programme. Instead of waffling she treated her
audience to a tantalizing taste of her one woman show
Only Bernadette
can perform from memory instead of reading from the page, bringing a room to silence with the power of her words
Only Bernadette
would organise a raffle for the National Epilepsy Society with items from her home as prizes (tied up in plastic bags so you couldn't see what you might win).
Only Bernadette 
Go buy her book
Go to her one woman show Altered Images. It is on May 2nd and May 9th during Brighton Festival at the Iambic Arts Theatre. 
Go because there is only one Bernadette Cremin
