Description Writer Peggy is in her late 50s and has younger onset dementia. Her relationship with memory and immediacy, the present and the past, is beginning to dissolve.

If a loved one starts to lose their memories, what role can we play in holding on to them? And how can we care for them in the present while honouring their memory?

Sundowner is the result of years of research, community engagement and creative development, and was the subject of a highly regarded ABC Artscape documentary. It expertly combines theatre, beautiful choreography and imagery in a story of lament, grief, and ultimately, love.

Complemented by original music by Paul Kelly, Megan Washington and Kelly Ryall, Sundowner is a simple, yet powerful story of family, love and loss told through the eyes of three generations.
