After a fall, Joan is placed somewhere she never chose.

Drama
The story

When Joan falls, she is quickly moved into a care home she does not want to enter. Around her are other older residents longing for comfort and missing the homes they have left behind. Alexander Zeldin’s play stays with the emotional and practical consequences of being cared for when control over daily life has shifted elsewhere.

In the room

The play runs for two hours and ten minutes without an interval, concentrating on institutional care, ageing, displacement and the shared life of residents.

Good fit if you like

social realism, ensemble drama, stories about ageing and close observation of care systems.
