The show was developed in 2022 as part of Falmouth University's prestigious AMATA Summer Residencies, and the show was supported by The University of Hull's ‘StartUp Hull.’
It features live music and movement to tell the story of a couple going for a day out at the seaside in the 1960s.
The show has recently been performed to The University of Hull's Dementia Advisory Board, and MSc Dementia Studies staff and students as well as to groups at the Stephen Joseph Theatre and Derby Theatre.
