Biographical note
Project Summary:Dementia Diaries - written by poet Maria Jastrzebska - is a new literary drama exploring the effects of dementia on an Anglo-Polish family. Produced by Lewes Live Literature (LLL), the work will undergo a research and development phase at Nuffield Theatre, based at University of Southampton, where the creative team (writer, director, actors, musicians) will explore the content of the production with input from scientists at the university's Clinical Neuroscience division as well as researchers from Southampton's Memory Assessment and Research Centre (MARC), a key partner in the project. MARC will collaborate on drafting a high quality printed programme for the show, outlining the latest research into dementia and range of treatments available plus listings of agencies and support groups. The activity will also build upon The Nuffield's work with Polish communities in Southampton. A national tour targeting Polish eateries and performances for heathcare professionals, medical students and carers will follow.
