Remembering Elizabeth

Recommended by

  • Ian Thal: Remembering Elizabeth

    A vivid portrait of a man descending into dementia. While some of his personality, and wit remains intact, each day is like an absurdist play in which with help from his second wife, Elizabeth Albert must refamiliarize himself with his world and personal history, and some days, like today, are like a detective drama, in which both the audience and Albert must assemble to evidence to discover what happened on the worst day of Albert's life. Emotionally gripping without being nostalgic or sentimental.

    We had the great privilege of producing this place for the audio play podcast Theatrical Shenanigans and it was such a wonderfully touching play to produce. The feeling that your memories are deserting you is a horrible one, both for the person in question and those they love. That is what Jack captured brilliantly. It would make a wonderfully powerful piece to perform and possibly, like me, the audience will shed tears! Thank you so much Jack for writing this piece as it was wonderful to produce!

    This play deals with memories, vivid and forgotten. As we listen and travel through time with the two characters, we make discoveries and learn about heartbreak. A simple play between an older couple it has moving and realistic dialogue.
