  • Ian Thal: Remembering Elizabeth by Jack Rushton
    “

    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.

    A memory play, poignant and profound, this ten-minute play packs quite an emotional punch. An older, married couple, struggle to stay connected, even though the husband is having more and more lapses in remembering even the simplest of things. As the play enfolds, you can’t help feeling that some memories are just too painful to bear, especially when they are intertwined with other happy ones. Life, love, and loss, this little play tackles some big themes.Bravo!

    Wistful and yearning. Memories can soothe and be salt on a wound. Rushton explores them side-by-side as the characters (seen and unseen) endear themselves to you. Heartfelt remembrances of love past and present.

    A sweet reflection on love and what lasts, as memory is fading. Rushton's dialogue draws delicate lines between the characters as they traverse their journey.
