How can you help the one you love when they are slowly slipping away from you? What kind of selfish or selflessness will you do? This sensitive and finely crafted play shows the dance between a couple who love, who’ve lost and struggle and cajole and support through the worst time of life. A powerful, moving masterpiece.

ADAM SZYMKOWICZ’s full-length play is a realistic view of the emotional, mental, and physical impact of dementia on the person with it and the caring spouse who is physically and emotionally drained but wants to hold on to being with her spouse.

What a beautiful play. Adam has taken a moment between a married couple nearing the end of the husband’s life and expertly captured the raw emotion and circular conversation of someone with dementia/memory issues. The actors for this will find a lot of subtext and underlying emotion to work with in between the lines. This one will stay with me for a long time.
