"I'd always fancied myself as a bit of a Sinatra and that song, at a moment like that. Well, it just doesn’t get much more perfect, does it?”

Join Arthur and Jane, at the beginning, as they tell us their story. Connected by the music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving love story explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and the transformative power of music in our lives.

Brought to life by two actors, we are led through fifty years of Arthur and Jane’s relationship, jumping in and out of memories and experiencing a failing mind as it loses its grip on reality.

This production of In Other Words has been performed at Theatres including The Arcola, The Traverse, The Tron, York Theatre Royal, CAST Doncaster, Carriageworks Leeds and Everyman Cheltenham. It will be touring to New York for a run Off- Broadway in 2025.
