The Time In-Between
Fill The (W)hole—MTC Up the Alley
My mother went from normal to severe dementia in months; it’s not quite the same but it gives me perspective on this play. The players do a good job establishing a deep relationship between the mother and the children to preface the disaster of the disease. The situational jumping however, fractures the flow of the play somewhat. You start to establish a heartfelt bond, then you move away and lose some of the emotion.
In the end, you still walk away with a good understanding about the devastation Alzheimer’s creates. There’s a donation box as you exit—the message is good enough for you to drop in a bill (or at least a few coins).
