About Dementia the Musical
Written by Ron Coleman, directed by Magdalena Schamberger, music by Sophie Bancroft. This production is supported by Capital Theatres and Creative Scotland Touring Fund.
Dementia the Musical! is a radical new musical raising the roof for dementia activism by Ron Coleman, Scottish poet and writer living with dementia, in collaboration with renowned director Magdalena Schamberger and one of Britain’s top jazz musicians Sophie Bancroft.
Written for and with those living with dementia this brand-new musical is based on the campaigning work of three of Scotland’s longest serving dementia activists James McKillop, Nancy McAdam and Agnes Houston and the fight they have led to ensure people with dementia have a voice in what happens in their lives.
