I've two relatives *living* with dementia, one won 1st prize in the care home's tallest sunflower competition. It was not a posthumous award. What the actual is up with the deeply dehumanising Alzheimers Soc ad..literally: dementia diagnosis means you're dead, no longer a human.

We are so excited (and a bit nervous) about this. Coach trip to the matinee on May 14; students, staff and people we work with. ❤️
Rehearsals for this start today. I've been directing plays for far too long but I don't think I've ever done anything that means more to me than this. This is for Connor, @sarasiobhan, her family and the campaign. Please come and see it. @JSTheatre @TheatreRBath
