A critically acclaimed play which seeks to give its audience a glimpse into dementia from the viewpoint of a person suffering from it is coming to The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon.

Called Fluff, it starts a UK tour this week and will be in Bordon on February 22 at 7.30pm. It is presented by Teepee Productions and Joe Brown, and written by Tayla Kenyon and James Piercy.

It’s time for Fluff to do the ultimate puzzle - her life. But Fluff hates puzzles, especially word searches. She can never find the words and doesn’t understand why there’s a half-eaten birthday cake and a woman who keeps visiting her room.

As she navigates her way through her most treasured and darkest memories, Fluff desperately needs to piece together her life, story by story, person by person. This darkly comedic play explores memories and the choices we make in life.

It has won three awards - for the Best Theatre Production at the Buxton Fringe 2024, and the Best Performance and Best New Piece at the Birmingham Fringe 2023.

The non-linear plot allows the audience to feel, first hand, the devastating effects of dementia, through joining Fluff in her journey to uncover her life’s memories.

Fluff is supported by the Arts Council England, W3RT, the Alzheimer’s Society, Trauma Breakthrough UK and Herts Musical Memories. The 75-minute show is performed by Tayla Kenyon and directed by Danäe Cambrook, with lighting design by Alex Teixido Blouna, sound design by Markos Beebe, and graphic and video design by Douglas Baker. Tickets cost £16, plus a £1 booking fee, or £14 plus a £1 booking fee for Phoenix Arts members, under-18s, full-time students, registered disabled, unemployed and over-65s.
