'TELL ME AGAIN is a memory play which explores one man's journey of love and loss. We travel backwards through time to unravel the terrible tragedy which has befallen him, and then move forwards with him as he tries to make sense of his conflicted heart.

'We meet HIM on a bench by a lake, chatting amiably with a seeming stranger about the nature of birds, and indeed all things living. As we move backwards in time, this stranger becomes more and more familiar, until we recognise HER as his wife. We are privy to that most intimate of relationships, between those in love, each scene sharpening in focus as her symptoms bubble to the surface, and her early dementia becomes the stranger in their marriage.

'TELL ME AGAIN is a story about the havoc dementia wreaks. The play’s difference and strength is that it requires the participation of its audience to unlock the puzzle and dive into the unknown, into a world where memory becomes dream, with love the only constant. Unexpectedly funny, deeply sensual and ultimately heartbreaking, TELL ME AGAIN is a world many of us will travel through.'
