Amnesia is a 60-minute solo show written and performed by Kimberly Hart-Simpson, directed by Kate Wasserberg in association with Theatr Clwyd, and presented at Bunker Two as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Kelly is a dementia carer in Rhyl and the daughter of two Tom Jones tribute acts. Proudly raised on ClubLand, waltzers and summer snogging scousers, Kelly is furious when her best friend announces she is leaving for a city with a Pret. Concealing her own life-altering news, she spirals out of control and risks losing everything. Kimberly Hart-Simpson is known for Coronation Street and Brassic.
