'Off her Trolley' looks at the effects of Alzheimers' disease for the
individual, their loved ones and their carers, and it illustrates the
shortcomings of private care, but its positive, and I'd like to think,
uplifting, as well.
Elderly people , and especially those with dementia, do not have a
voice, but as a carer I hear their voices, and I see who they are. Its
natural for me to show how communication is possible, even when it
seems its not, and to share with you the positive things that older
people can teach us.

The play has been nominated for the Amnesty International / The Big
Issue Freedom of Expression Award.
