Description A Box of Memories is an intimate musical that presents perspectives on what it means to live with dementia, from diagnosis through to end-of-life. Through a series of vignettes, we follow the story of Lizzy, a woman in her seventies, experiencing changes in memory and at the beginning of a life-impacting diagnostic experience; Sonia, Lizzy’s daughter, in her forties, frantically busy with work and family, struggling with what is happening with her mother and unsure of what to do about it; and Jeremy, a specialist doctor who becomes engaged with Lizzy’s care from diagnosis until end-of-life.
