Welcome to our Care Home Cabaret! Jane, the senior carer and MC, is here to care for you. Fret not, any issue, Jane has a tissue! Behind the lace curtains, one woman is sitting with her tale of Familial Alzheimer’s Disease and the 50/50 risk it might touch her soon.
A cast of improbable companions come to the rescue, each carrying their bits of the story. Mischief sparkles, a diva wails operatically, props are misplaced, Lady Vivienne causes chaos and will Sarah seize the spotlight? The horse tries to make sense of it all... our shimmering chanteuse invites you to join the club - Dead Dads’ Jazz Club - for a night on the town with our dead loved ones. An unforgettable soirée, even if she might forget it.
"So personal and universal at the same time. So rich and beautiful with the songs, the mask, the clowning and everything. It was fantastic!" (Audience member)
