Some Dance To Remember

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Written by Neil Arnott

This drama is a poignant examination of how Alzheimer's disease strips its victims of almost everything and makes life for those affected by it almost unbearable. Jim and Rose are an ordinary couple looking forward to their old age together when dementia strikes. We see how Rose, Jim's loving wife, is affected and how she handles her loss with stoicism and even a degree of positivity, finding ways to cope and ways to remain cheerful by remembering the good times they had shared.

Starring:
Geoff Baron as Jim
and Anne Baron as Rose

The Old Green Vegetables

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Written by Neil Arnott

The Old Green Vegetables is a comedy featuring two long time drinking buddies Jack and Norman. They meet three or four times a week at their local, the Badger's Crook, somewhere in London, and while away the hours sharing a pint or two and putting the world to rights. Jack is an upright citizen, retired (ex-military) and fastidious about his appearance. Norman on the other hand is somewhat shambolic, writing a book that never seems to progress and pottering around markets. He is also a conspiracy theorist with a long-hidden secret that, when it comes to light, amazes Jack and sends them both on an adventure which will change their lives forever.

Starring:
Andrew C. Husband as Gerald
D.G Jones as Jack
