A storytelling show about music and dementia…

When two sisters learn their dad has been diagnosed with dementia, they deal with the news in very different ways.

This new show by John Osborne deals with themes that are increasingly familiar – but this is an optimistic, positive story.

John returns to Plymouth after visiting in 2019 with John Peel’s Shed / Circled in the Radio Times. This brand new funny, sad, cosy, beautiful story deals with dementia, family and the role music plays in our lives.

Just because something is diagnosed, doesn’t mean it’s the end.
