cockamamy

by Louise Coulthard in aid of The Alzheimer’s Soceity

Premiered at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre in 2016 and followed by Summerhall Edinburgh.

Cockamamy. Adj. Ludicrous or Non Sensical.

Alice and her granddaughter Rosie are a team. They live together,eat together, watch Countdown together. Until things start to become ludicrous. Non sensical. This heart breaking, hilarious tale explores companionship and what it is to both have and care for someone living with dementia.

Based on true stories, we see their relationship fracture with the desperate struggle for independence, and the humour and love that can still be shared when faced with this terrible disease.
