29th April – FREE Event – A Play ‘The Songbirds’

A Play called ‘The Songbirds’ will be performed in Fermanagh House on Monday 29th April from 11 – 12pm followed by a Q & A session until 1pm. This is aimed at anyone working with or living with dementia, it is open to the public and a FREE event.
The Songbirds is an innovative new piece of theatre, produced by An Grianán Theatre, and made in association with the Ulster University School of Nursing and Dementia Northern Ireland. It’s a play about dementia, but not really, it’s more a play about memory and life, and how one family finds a way to navigate a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Based on extensive research by the University, face to face interviews with Dementia Dyads (person with dementia and their primary carer) and contributions and suggestions from people living with dementia, the play explores the issues surrounding the disease, the diagnosis and one family’s journey through it all. It’s a play filled with humour, music, dancing and love.
