The Backward Fall at the Courtyard Theatre

The Backward Fall is an awkwardly funny story of Etta and her family. She suffers from the early stages of Alzheimer’s, yet as her condition worsens, it is her family who descend into absurdity. Literally. The play is a hyper-realistic representation of a Sunday afternoon to which you are invited.

This piece is based on interviews and stories from Alzheimer’s sufferers and their families. The production company will be donating money from every ticket to charity and welcome any further donations.
