Dementia is not normal ageing. When Madam Wong begins her retirement, all she can think of is enjoying her golden years with rest and serenity, surrounded by family and friends. However, rest turns into restlessness as she starts to lose her short-term memory. Her dream of a peaceful life soon becomes a nightmare of remembering and forgetting.
Presented by The Necessary Stage, commissioned by the Alzheimer's Disease Association for Dementia Awareness Week 2009, and supported by Health Promotion Board, this brand new play deals with the trials and tribulations of people with dementia and their struggles to come to terms with their illness.
A touching and thought-provoking play, presented in Mandarin and English, with subtitles. There will be a post-show dialogue with the audience on dementia.
