This tragi-comedy is about memory, loss, secrets and, above all, love. Bothered and Bewildered is described by its writer as a ‘comedy drama’; in fact, it is a clear expose’ of the devastation of dementia – the bewilderment of the sufferer and the effect on the family – and that makes a poignant, tragic story with some comic relief.
The play follows Irene and her two daughters Louise and Beth as they begin a long journey in which the girls lose their mum in spirit but not in body. As her family struggle to come to terms with her Alzheimer’s, Irene’s past passion for romantic fiction blurs with reality. She discusses with her unseen and witty companion, Barbara Cartland, how best to write her ‘memory book’, disclosing to Barbara long kept family secrets that she would never reveal to anyone else.
Characters:
Irene – Elderly widow and mother of Beth and Louise: Beth – Eldest daughter of Irene: Louise – Youngest daughter of Irene. (playing ages will be based on family fit and the dynamics of those cast).
Barbara Cartland (any age/era). Please note: I am looking for the ‘essence of Barbara – not an impression. She must be as authentic and real as all the other characters. though it would be worth checking her out on some You Tube videos to listen to her voice. Bing Videos
NHS Consultant (M or F): Community Police Officer (M or F): Consultant and Police Officer can be played by the same person or two people.
Jim (playing age 20’s): James (playing age 20’s). Jim and James must be played by the same actor.
Young Irene (playing age late teens): Shelly – Beth’s daughter, Irene’s granddaughter (playing age late teens). Young Irene and Shelly must be played by the same actor.
