Reviews

“Acted brilliantly, honestly and with huge emotional impact by all three actors, it was easy to become a part of their relationships and world, and eventually be affected by the impact the disease has on those relationships, along with the huge changes it forces upon their world. “

Sophie Francis

“Morrison has written a work of art rather than an instruction manual on dementia and how to cope with this dreadful disease. The burden is heaviest on Sally where little happenings suddenly become more than irritations.“

My mother passed recently, aged 92. Diagnoed with Dementia in her late years. Certain elements of the play reminded me of different incidents at home.

Brought back memories, some good, some not so good. Thank you, the message needs to be out much more.

Audience Member

Very powerful, I cried and cried. I work with Dementia but also lost my Dad to Alzheimers. I had a very real understanding of the play.

Audience Member

An excellent play and insightful. My sister, age 70 has Dementia and is changing rapidly.

Audience Member

Very powerful play, brought back memories of my Dad. He went downhill very quickly.

Audience Member

Thought provoking, very moving… None of us know what lies ahead of us. Harder for the carer and family, than the sufferer.

Audience Member

Such a cruel illness that not only takes away the person but life changing for the close family. Great portrayal of the trials face by his wife and carer. The difficulties of wanting to care for her loved one while also dealing with the isolation and challenges she faces often.
