Written and performed by Bethany Heath (previously in Frome Drama Club’s ‘The Regina Monologues’ and ‘The Private Ear’), ‘Definitely Louise’ receives its premiere at this year’s festival.
From the comfort of her flat, an excitable, precocious, irrepressible woman with a dirty mouth and a lot to say discusses life, her many opinions and her best friend, all the while avoiding the advances of her over-eager neighbour.
At times both funny and moving, it explores themes of confidence and insecurities, friendship and loss, and finding your way in the modern world.
Seen at last year’s festival starring as one of the 6 wives of Henry VIII in the highly-acclaimed ‘Regina Monologues’ which won the Best Theatre award at Shaftesbury Fringe, Bethany Heath has since performed in ‘Real Life’ at the Rondo Theatre in Bath and in several short films. Now for the first time she tries her hand at writing, and brings a personal show about modern life, social media and working out just who it is that you are.

“Played by Bethany Heath, who was so impressive in FDC’s 2016 festival production…..the pain she endures, is vividly brought to life.” The Fine Times Recorder for Regina Monologues
