Hi everyone, I am creating a new piece of musical theatre for my final assessment on the Mountview MA Theatre Directing course, and I’m looking for people with lived experience of dementia in their friends or family to share their stories.

The stories would be used to create and inform elements of the script and narrative, potentially in the form of verbatim. If you are interested and willing to share your story I would love to hear from you!

Please complete the attached google form, which has all the info you need. Please also feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who might be interested.

Any questions don’t hesitate to message me or email me on [email protected]

Thank you!!
