Tom is living with young onset dementia. We meet him as he prepares for his 55th birthday party and past memories come flooding back.
Following more than 200 performances worldwide, Theatre Re brings its explosive, powerful and joyous piece about what is left when memory is gone back to London for its landmark 10th Anniversary Season.
Since its 2017 premiere, The Nature of Forgetting has moved audiences from New York to Seoul, São Paulo to Shanghai, and played to sold-out houses across the US, China and beyond; establishing itself as one of the most powerful theatrical experiences of the past decade.
Developed with Neuroscience Professor Kate Jeffery and the Alzheimer’s Society, The Nature of Forgetting is a life-affirming journey into a weakening mind, where fragmented does not have to mean defeated.
As one of the UK’s leading visual theatre companies, Theatre Re combines original live music with striking visual performance to create deeply moving, non-verbal theatre about universal human challenges and the fragility of life.
The performance will be BSL Interpreted by Anna Kitson.
