Woolly Sheep Theatre Company are back at Edinburgh Fringe with their new play ‘Not dead yet’
Alzheimers affects an increasingly large section of the population, and its Dementia’s most common disease.
Not Dead Yet is one man show which guides you between Diego’s coffee emporium and the life and mind of ‘your loving Dad, Tom’. Music and memories are often strongly linked, Diego plays you a variety of tracks throughout and invites you to consider the link between the tracks. Tom spends his days writing emails to his son in sunny South Carolina about Gran and her worsening dementia. What is memory loss like for the sufferer and is it worse for the loved ones looking on? With an ageing population this disease is set to rise dramatically, the more we know and understand about it the better.
Not Dead Yet is a sad yet humorous tale that so many of us can relate to and is on daily at Space on North Bridge until the 11th Aug.
