Thank you to everyone who joined us for this deeply moving production.

Following a successful run at Key Theatre Peterborough, and Oxford’s Old Fire Station, Remember Me is now looking ahead, we’re exploring opportunities to take the play on tour and share it with new audiences across the UK.

Remember Me

by Lekha Desai Morrison
Directed by Tristan Jackson-Pate

 

 

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.

A Fir Tree Theatre production in collaboration with Landmark Theatres UK, and funded by ACE.

About the Production

Remember Me was originally developed as part of the Welcome Weekender Festival, following a Key Seed Commission from Landmark Theatres UK.  It premiered at the Key Theatre, Peterborough on 3 May 2024, followed by a sold-out performance at Burton Taylor Studio, Oxford on 31 August 2024.

In 2025, the production returned with encore performances at:


• Key Theatre, Peterborough – 6–7 March 2025
• Old Fire Station, Oxford – 14–15 March 2025

We’re now looking to tour Remember Me to new venues across the UK.

Oxford playwright raising awareness of dementia through theatre

“A heartfelt gem of a play… a deeply haunting portrait of long-lasting love, memory and loss that left a lump in the throat.”

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
Daily Info

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.

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