60 minutes, no interval
11 Apr - 12 Apr 2025

For the first time ever, celebrated actors and real-life couple Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst perform together in a two-hander.

Connected by the music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving love story explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and the transformative power of music to help us remember the past, connect with the present and hope for the future. 

Meet characters Arthur and Jane as they retell how they met, fell in love and tried to cope with an encroaching illness.
 
'In Other Words,' full of life's frustrations and humour, promises to be an outstanding production.
