THE IMPACT ON OUR CLIENTS
important and respectful
It was a pleasure collaborating with you and the Act 2 Studio Works / Moving Scenes team in telling the story in the vignette The Shave. It is important and respectful of our Sikh culture.

it was just so real to me
I have experienced them all! The keys, the purse, the wandering off, the anger, the singing… family members who were not present when times were tough, the guilt of not visiting regularly. I have been yelled at and actually hit by a family member. At times during the show I laughed out loud… while at other times I sobbed. It was just so real to me.

a must see
It was outstanding. I could hear the words of those facing dementia – loud and clear. And their words, that they are still very much here, resounded throughout the theatre in a beautiful, funny and touching way. This production is a must see.
