Clinically Famous Howard & MimiClinically Famous
Synopsis:
What's it really like at the Priory Clinic? Famous soap star Beverley has just checked in. Soap plots deconstructed and the cult of celebrity analysed in this searingly funny yet deeply moving semi- autobiographical tale. When the viewers love to hate you it can really get you down! "Clinically Famous was the best written most charmingly acted satire I have seen at this fesitival. the fact it was based on the authors (Caroline Gold) own experiences in the Priory made it extra interesting. Very funny and very touching. Best of the festival"
