In Sickness And In Health

A play about an elderly couple Tom and Val Braithwaite and Val’s experience as her husband starts to display the early signs of dementia.  The play is told almost in the style of Shirley Valentine and is played directly to the audience with Val stepping in and out of particular scenes as she tells the audience her story.  The scenes depict Tom at various stages in the dementia process and the story is based on the actual experiences and feedback of partners of people with dementia.
