About this event
The Geography of Me is a solo spoken word show that takes audiences on a journey through heartbreak and hilarity. Award-winning Canadian poet (and self-proclaimed map nerd) Rose Condo uses stories and poems to trace her travels through foreign and familiar lands.
'Any audience of hers cannot fail to be charmed by her revealing, thought provoking and funny poems...wonderful in its simplicity!' Natasha Holmes, Tell Tale Hearts Theatre
As heard on BBC and CBC Radio, Rose has performed across the UK and internationally sharing her “honest, unflinching, charming and deeply human poetry” (Dominic Berry, Glastonbury Poet in Residence). Don’t miss this poetic journey, where even the most reluctant armchair traveler will enjoy the ride!
