Inspired by prize-winning author L.W. Illsley’s personal experiences of Hodgkin’s disease and the care industry, it tells the poignant yet humorous tale of an old man and a boy.

The show, staged during Dying Matters Awareness Week, was first produced in association with Little Angel Theatre – the Home of British Puppetry – last year.

Following the show at The Dukes, there will be an optional 30-minute panel event on the play with representatives of Dying Matters who aim to change attitudes and behaviours towards dying, death and bereavement.
