A New Play!
Prior to her death, Rosie’s family, including her husband (Oliver) and her daughter (August), gathers to say goodbye. In these final moments, Rosie – a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s – collects scraps of scattered memories in the landscape of her mind. Within the memories themselves, Rosie’s treasured relationships play out, as well as her journey coming face-to-face with the reality of her disease. Rosie and her family explore the grief, joy, fear, and distortion of memory.
