17 Apr - 5 May. Flora is a 76 year old woman. She is also 18, 33 and somewhere in her late forties…

Combining a poetic text and a bold, electrifying score for voice and sound, Autobiographer draws us into Flora’s slowly unravelling mind. In a tender and lyrical performance, fragments of stories and pulses of memory build layer upon layer into a curious, evocative portrait of a life refracted through the lens of dementia.

Melanie Wilson is one of the UK’s most fascinating and stylish young theatre-makers, described as “part of a generation of artists easing British Theatre in to the 21st Century” by Lyn Gardner (The Guardian) and is making a mark with her poetic, witty and intimate style of theatre.Cast: Janet Henfrey, Alice Lamb, Penelope McGhie and Melanie Wilson Funded by Arts Council England and the Wellcome Trust
