Butterfly Psyche Theatre's new play, The Persistence of Memory, examines the problems of memory while gently exploring the delicate human condition through our dependence on memory and it's creation of our identity.
The Persistence of Memory tells the story of Dante DeLucca, an ageing classics professor. He and his daughter Iphee must come to terms with his fading memory and how it will change their relationship.
Dante's story is a universal one that is becoming more and more common. According to the Alzheimer's Society, there are over 800,000 people living with dementia or severe memory loss in the UK. In order to develop the script, theatre practitioner and playwright, Alison Farina, sought advice from carers living with and caring for loved ones suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's.
Members of the public can see the play tonight at The Rondo Theatre, Bath.
