Kucom Theatre is delighted to announce that they have secured the performing rights for Alan Hopgood's comedy, The Carer. This one-man play has been highly praised for its sensitive treatment of Alzheimer's disease and its warmth and humour. Jointly directed by Maureen Coleman and Heather MacTavish and featuring Jim Kelly, The Carer is a warm and funny play that deals with issues of love, modern families, and how we face the future. Kelly's character in the play, George Parker, has recently lost his wife to Alzheimer's. He has taken early retirement to care for her, and we now see him adjust to his new way of life. It is funny, touching and very real. The Carer opens at the Kucom Theatre Playhouse in Shakespeare Street on Friday 28 November, and will run Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights until 13 December. By arrangement with Bay Street productions. | |
