IGHI November Update

Bette Davis On Edge

Friday 21st November, 7:30pm

From New York to Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, the UK premiere event Bette Davis On The Edge is a solo performance, written and performed by Christine St. John.

“It’s half past four in the morning of October 31st 1962, and motion picture legend Bette Davis is waiting anxiously for the reviews of ‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’. If the picture is a success, it will hail the desperately needed comeback for the star’s fading career. If not, it will provide a sad and embarrassing epitaph.”

“As she waits, she reflects on her entire career, from the ‘Talkies’ to the present day. Her story is the entire history of the American Motion Picture industry.”
