An Evening with Dementia Written and performed by Trevor T. Smith "I don't suffer from dementia. In fact I've made it a point in my life never to suffer from anything." During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, we got a chance to see Trevor T. Smith perform his excellent one-man show, in which he plays an elderly actor who has dementia and is living in a care home. It is funny, painful and true - definitely one to see if you get a chance. Find out more at the show's website. |
Angus:
Weaver of Grass We absolutely loved this show. Produced by Horse + Bamboo and using puppetry, song, projection and the use of masks, it tells the story of Angus McPhee from South Uist who spent 50 years in a psychiatric hospital in the Highlands of Scotland. He never spoke during that time but expressed himself by weaving garments made of grass. It is a remarkable story and beautifully told. Find out where you can see it here. |
