Britain's What's On Event Guide
Castle Players present Still Alice
Alice Howland is proud of the life she worked so hard to build. At fifty, she's a cognitive psychology professor at Oxford University, and a renowned expert in linguistics, with a successful husband and two adult children. When she begins to grow forgetful and disoriented, she dismisses it for as long as she can until a tragic diagnosis changes her life - and her relationship with her family and the world around her - for ever.
Unable to care for herself, Alice struggles to find meaning and purpose as her concept of self gradually slips away. But Alice is a remarkable woman, and her family learn more about her and each other in their quest to hold on to the Alice they know. Her memory hanging by a frayed thread, she is living in the moment, living for each day. But she is still Alice.
This heartbreaking and hopeful adaptation of the award winning book by Lisa Genova gives an extraordinary window into the experience of living with dementia. Julianne Moore’s portrayal of Alice in the 2015 film adaptation of the story won numerous awards including an Oscar, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.
