Overview
Love Beyond is a love story. But not a typical one.
Harry has dementia. He also uses sign language. As he moves into a new home, he is accompanied by memories that dance like ghosts around him.
Harry’s carer provides him with some solace, but just as the determined nurse begins to learn Harry’s sign language, he begins to forget it, leaving him in a unique world where he must confront the only thing that remains – himself.
Love Beyond is a beautiful, tender and visually stunning show from renowned theatre artist Ramesh Meyyappan, directed by Matthew Lenton.
