Biography
We are a two woman theatre company based in the North West (Graduates from the University of Chester and 2015 Venture winners) who write and perform our own theatre, all of which explore life issues. Our first being 'Over the Garden Fence'. This play follows the story of Annabelle and her Gran Dolly, on a nostalgic journey through Grans life, sharing memories of happiness, sorrow and joy. It is a fast paced, uplifting and comical exploration into family, life and relationships that promotes an awareness of dementia that is accessible to all. Our play encourages conversation and engages audiences in the discussion of not only dementia but the importance of the individual behind the diagnosis. Professional's, mental health care services, careers and families, have seen our play as a tool to bring people together and discuss prevalent and complex issues.
