Raising awareness of dementia carers through theatre - BBC News

Now seeking a producer to tour Remember Me in 2025

5⭐️Review from Caroline Ignatius, Devika Care Company on PCRFM

Welcome

Fir Tree Theatre is dedicated to ensuring that theatre is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their background, socio-economic status, or level of experience with the arts.  We are based in Oxford and are proud to work with other local creative groups such as Oxfordshire Theatre Makers.

By fostering an inclusive environment and offering a diverse range of performances and programs, we aim to bring the joy and enrichment of the stage to the widest possible audience.

Our commitment to inclusivity and community engagement underscores our belief that everyone should have the opportunity to experience and participate in the transformative power of live theatre.

We are here to encourage more diversity, particularly in Oxfordshire where we have had extreme difficulty in finding Global Majority creatives, specifically actors (and indeed have had to adapt scripts accordingly) and where it is clear that Global Majority audience numbers do not reflect the diversity of the local population.

Research shows that there is a staggering under-representation of Global Majority creatives in Oxford.  We aim to create opportunities for local Global Majority creatives, not only actors, directors and writers but also other theatre creative roles such as sound, set and light design etc.

Following its successful performances at the Burton Taylor Studio, Oxford and its world premiere at The Key Theatre, Peterborough, commissioned by Landmark Theatres UK, we were thrilled to bring Remember Me to even broader audiences in 2025, by popular demand.

Supported by Arts Council England funding, the play was staged at The Old Fire Station in Oxford and The Key Theatre in Peterborough, allowing us to share its powerful impact and inspire vital conversations about memory, identity, and the emotional toll of Alzheimer’s.

REMEMBER ME

by Lekha Desai Morrison

When Sally finds that her artist husband Jack is losing interest in painting, she gradually learns that the problem is much deeper than it seems at first.  With the support of her daughter Keira, they go on a journey of learning to understand and manage his condition with compassion, warmth, humour and love.

“Incredibly moving and explicitly real depiction of dementia and its consequences for all involved…”
