DESCENT 14+
PROFESSIONAL THEATRE
Sunday 30 April, 7.30pm
50-somethings Rob and Cathy are looking forward to reclaiming their own lives
now that their daughter Nicola is grown-up and settled; but looming over them is
a threat that could rip their future apart. Descent explores what happens as they
try to hold on to each other – and themselves – in the face of early onset dementia.
Descent doesn’t flinch from the heartbreak they face, but it also celebrates the
courage, the hope, the humanity - and even the humour - they bring to the fight.
Written by Linda Duncan McLaughlin. Directed by Allie Butler
