Poetry
Nicki Watts
Through poetry, monologues and heartfelt anecdotes, this warm and intimate show brings Betty vividly to life — her wisdom, humour and quiet strength woven into moments of laughter and reflection. These are stories about ageing, connection, love and the unexpected ways people shape us.
By turns entertaining, absorbing and gently emotive, Betty Used to Say is designed to feel like a nice warm hug for the audience. A celebration of friendship across generations, this show invites you to slow down, listen closely, and leave carrying a little of Betty with you.
