DON'T Leave Me Now, written by Brian Daniels, artistic director of New End Theatre Beyond, can be heard as a play reading in an evening performance at Old Downton Lodge on Tuesday, June 30.
The play explores the impact of young onset dementia on two very different families. Rachael Dixey, professor of health promotion at Leeds Metropolitan University, cared for her partner with dementia for seven years. Cindy Toulman visited her husband in his care home every day for ten years.
Inspired by these two real life stories, playwright Brian Daniels has woven the strands of each together with authenticity, insight and humour to create a documentary style production highlighting the emotions, dilemmas and challenges experienced by people affected by dementia.
The reading, directed by Jeni Draper, will be performed by a cast of five professional actors and followed by a post-show discussion.
Tickets are available online at evening-play-reading-ludlow.eventbrite.co.uk or by email to info@dementiapathfinders.org or call 0845 257 2260.
