In episode 21 of the podcast, I will be chatting to the marvellous Heidi Steel and Matthew Barker from the play 'The Fish Bowl' at Summerhall during the Edinburgh Fringe.
'The Fish Bowl' is a moving and emotional piece of theatre about the impacts of dementia on those who have it, and those surrounding them. Based on real people and true events, Matthew collected notes from his journal when working at a memory unit in an Australian care home, collating and adapting them into this magnificent new play.
Both Heidi and Matthew starred in the production during the summer at the Fringe.
In this interview, we discuss the emotional toll that the play has on the duo (performing it practically every day for a month), the chaos and madness of the Fringe, and how people with dementia still have so much to say, we are just not trained to listening.
