Dementia Street
Dates: 29 Jan 2025 - 30 Jan 2025
Location: HOME - Arts Centre - Manchester
Aging happens to us all and sadly as we get older health issues arise. One of the biggest health problems people face with in today’s society is dementia. It’s a decrippling condition which can leave you losing your inner self and most importantly forgetting the people you love.
However, amidst this troubling time those affected can experience a measure of joy and see the comical side of the situation as families strive not to take it too seriously.
One man discovered his mother had dementia yet following her sad demise he didn’t wallow in tears forever. He picked himself up and felt inspired to create a one man play about the seven stages of cognitive dementia.
Smug Roberts presents ‘Dementia Street’ – Part of PUSH 2025. Taking place at HOME – Arts Centre Manchester Wednesday 29th – Thursday 30th January.
Tickets are available to book from the following website link –
