Connected by the music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving love story explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and the transformative power of music to help us remember the past, connect with the present and hope for the future.
Written by award-winning UK playwright Matthew Seager, In Other Words has won four Moliere Awards for its writing and its sensitive and respectful portrayal of Alzheimer's.
