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
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.“
