An Evening with Dementia
Trevor T Smith’s new play, poignant yet humorous, offers a study of the world seen through the eyes of a dementia sufferer and deals with the issues of loss, disempowerment and old age. The wryly intelligent text astutely deconstructs the experience of an identity cut loose from the rest of the world by a failing memory, allowing the audience to empathise with a brave spirit fiercely living out the collapse of the human mind. From an ex-RSC actor. A trailer of the play is available on YouTube.

Play description
“Dementia is the subject for Trevor T Smith’s one-act, one-man play which he has written and performs. The play deals with issues of loss, disempowerment and old age and deconstructs the experience of an identity cut loose from the rest of the world by the loss of memory. It is a delightful, often humorous performance which gives a poignant account of the world seen through the eyes of a dementia sufferer.” (taken from The Subscription Rooms’s Jan-Mar 2010 leaflet)
