Presented by Northumbria University in association with Live Theatre Starring: Chris Connel, Laura Norton, Peter Peverly, Helen Embleton and Jess Johnson Directed by: Steve Gilroy A neighbour sometimes came to our door and he would forget what he knocked for. He often wandered the street forgetting where he was supposed to be going, looking confused and upset. These are possibly the only aspects of dementia I have seen for myself. And yet there was so much more to this friendly neighbour than his occasional appearance on our door step. How did his wife cope? Did they still laugh together? Did he ever find himself in danger when crossing the road? Had he ever left a pan boiling? Did his family still visit? Did friends still call by? Did he still go to the pub for a pint or for walks at the coast? I never really considered these things.
