Bothered and Bewildered by Gail Young
St. John’s Players is proud to produce this relatively new piece of theatre concerning the topic of Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's is a disease which has touched most of us and thus one we can relate to.
This play is a touching and humorous peek into the world of a family struggling to deal with the realities of the disease.
'Bothered & Bewildered' is a comedy drama about one woman's struggle with Alzheimer's.
The play follows Irene and her two daughters Louise and Beth as the girls lose their mother in spirit but not in body.
As her family struggle to come to terms with her Alzheimer's, Irene's past passion for romantic literature blurs with reality.
She spends hours discussing how best to write her 'memory book' with her imaginary friend and favourite author Barbara Cartland
(the deceased world famous romantic novelist), disclosing long kept family secrets that she would never divulge to her daughters.
This tragi-comedy is about memory, loss, secrets and above all, love.
Performing with an all star cast and directed by Louise Kearley, April 10-13 at the Barbara Barrett Theatre.
Don't miss this beautiful, touching show before it goes to the Provincial Drama Festival in Corner Brook!
