Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Nature of Forgetting
'A phenomenal example of true theatrical magic’ TheatreReview NYC
Following more than 150 performances in sold-out venues across the globe, Theatre Re brings
its explosive, powerful and joyous piece about what is left when memory is gone, back to the
UK.
Tom is living with young onset dementia. We meet him as he prepares for his 55th birthday
party and past memories come flooding back.
The Nature of Forgetting is a life-affirming journey into a weakening mind, where broken does not
have to mean defeated. As one of the UK’s leading visual theatre companies, Theatre Re combines original live music with striking visual theatre to create world class, deeply moving, non-verbal
productions about universal human challenges and the fragility of life.
