I found this so beautifully performed and the relationships between the four characters so real I laughed out loud and cried too. Dementia and old age are shown to be an equal struggle for the carers and the inflicted.

In a farmhouse at the edge of Salisbury Plain, a family is falling apart. Stephen can’t afford to put his mother into care; Arthur can’t afford to stop working and look after his wife. When a young stranger with blue hair moves in to care for Edie as her mind unravels, the family are forced to ask: are we living the way we wanted? Visitors is a sharply funny love story that takes a haunting, beautiful look at the way our lives slip past us.
Featuring Linda Bassett, Simon Muller, Robin Soans and Eleanor Wyld Up In Arms present the latest collaboration between playwright Barney Norris and director Alice Hamilton
