Familiar story told beautifully. We all deal with dementia in one way or another, so this is extremely relatable. The frustration and patience of the son is rendered marvelously through the dialogue. LaBlanc wisely uses a light hand in guiding the narrative - so much so that the emotion really creeps up on you as reader or if you're lucky, as audience. Just a wonderful short that will linger long after end of play. Extraordinary.

LeBlanc’s characters are so richly textured it’s hard to believe this is a work of fiction. My mother-in-law had dementia; moments in this play hit home. Really hard. Leblanc should be commended for handling such a terrifying and heartbreaking issue with such patience and kindness towards his characters. I feel like I know Lou. I highly recommend this work!

Damn, this hits hard. But beyond the sadness of watching your father forget who you are is the beauty of the candid conversation Jon is able to have with his father believing he is a stranger. The love between the two, though clouded by dementia, is clear and strong. "Pay attention more and worry less." Very good advice.
