In Other Words is a powerful love story that explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and the transformative power of music to help reconnect those living with dementia to their loved ones and the world around them.
“I’d always fancied myself as a bit of a Sinatra And that song, at a moment like that. Well, it just doesn’t get much more perfect, does it?”
Join Arthur and Jane, at the beginning, as they tell us their story. Connected by the music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving love story explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and the transformative power of music in our lives.
Brought to life by two actors, we are led through fifty years of Arthur and Jane’s relationship, jumping in and out of memories and experiencing a failing mind as it loses its grip on reality.
