Directing / live literature
Altered Egos
by Bernadette Cremin
Mark Hewitt is directing the touring production of Altered Egos, a one-woman show written and performed by award winning poet Bernadette Cremin. Six taut monologues reveal the lives of six troubled women ‘surviving in the margins’. Vulnerable characters – “undaunted in the face of everything life throws at them” – defined by love, loss, sex and mental and physical illness. A scratch performance at Brighton Fringe Festival 2010 received the runner up Latest Award for Best Literature Performance. Read the online review.
