Reminiscence - Michael Brown '04 & Faculty
Hello All,
I wanted to make sure you had information about our upcoming show, Reminiscence, at the Jackson's Lane Theatre in London. As some of you will know, the show is a devised piece, inspired by a case study from Oliver Sacks' book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
It is the story of Mrs O'Connor, who in a bizarre neurological twist is transported to the surreal world of her memories. As her condition becomes increasingly difficult to fathom, Mrs O'Connor and her doctor go on a journey of discovery to the limits of science's ability to fully account for what happens in our minds, and to the limits of our ability to fully recapture the past.
Reminiscence is a piece of total theatre using live music (original compositions inspired by the folk melodies of Eastern Europe) and spectacular visuals to take the audience on a fantastical, poignant and ultimately moving journey through the mind.
There is a two for one offer on the 9th and 10th of September. See the attached flyer for more information.
Please forward this email along to anyone you know who might be interested.
Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you there!
Michael Brown
