Powerfully articulating themes as diverse as relationships, childhood, serial-killers and gender, this passionate and thought-provoking new collection showcases Rosie’s affecting and award-winning poetry. And, as with her previous collections under the guise of alter-ego Rosie Lugosi, it has a deliciously determined bite. 
This is Rosie's first performance of 2010, following her successful fight against throat cancer.   
With Gerry Potter, Jackie Hagan & Dominic Berry.
