"Gabrielle and Michael meet by accident, fall in love, part, meet again and fall in love all over again. The problem is, every time they meet, they forget each other's names. They can't help it; they suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Complicating things are family members who have difficulty with the changes and challenges Gabrielle and Michael experience, as they become more and more entangled in the debris of memory and language. Eventually, Gabrielle and Michael end up in a long-term care facility where they meet other people suffering from the same malady, extraordinary people who live and die with courage and hope. In the end Michael and Gabrielle find love again and, in the process, change the lives of the people around them".
Hilarious Comedy By John Patrick Fed up with the pressures and demands of her acting career, the famous Myra Marlowe leases a house in the tiny New England hamlet of Beaver Haven and settles down to write her autobiography. She is successful in turning aside the offers pressed on her by her long-time agent, but dealing with her nosy neighbours. "Everyone knows those nosy neighbours" - who won't mind their own business. They're quirky, odd and sometimes even a little crazy and Beaver Haven is full of them. As this play going season at Theatre Burlington draws to an end — here is a jolly good laugh to take you into an enjoyable few months of no overcoats, just nice warm outside weather.
