Join us for a special performance to launch Bernadette Russell's new book Conversations on Kindness.
Tickets £10/£8 Concessions. BOOK VIA THE ALBANY HERE.
You are invited to Deptford resident’s Bernadette Russell’s book launch and part storytelling, part stand up show – the true story of one woman’s mission to answer the question “Can Kindness Change the World?” by carrying out an act of kindness for a total stranger every day for 366 days. Involving cakes, compliments, phone boxes and Billy Bragg teaching her how to play “The Milkman of Human Kindness” in a cupboard at the BBC. This is a comedy about how, despite what we are told about the state of the world and its troubles, there is more love than hate, more hope than fear, more good than bad. All this plus a chance to win a million pounds!
After the show Bernadette will be answering questions about her book “Conversations on Kindness” and signing books. This event is a fundraiser – all profits from ticket sales will go to Deptford charity the 999 Club, providing support for homeless people in Lewisham & South London.
Presented by the Albany as part of Deptford Literature Festival.
