The Nature of Forgetting is a work devised by London-based ensemble Theatre Re following main character 55-year-old Tom’s struggle with early onset dementia. However, the piece itself is not simply about dementia, it is an exploration of the human essence, an eternal “something” we all share, that is left when memory is gone. Theatre Re’s ethos is to create thought-provoking, tangible and poignant work, and The Nature of Forgetting is a prime example of just that.
