Dementia The Musical archiveAgnes, James and Nancy are on trial for the crime of having dementia and not doing what they're told. Can they beat the Rigid System and reclaim their lives and dignity? Set in the not-too-distant future where the ‘British Bill of Rights' has replaced the ‘European Convention on Human Rights' and is being used by organisations and care home owners to deny residents their rights to a family life by allowing the system to control what individuals with dementia can do, where they live, who can visit and when they can visit. The backdrop to the musical sees the three activists being brought to a care home in Dundee to face a tribunal that is accusing them of both not having capacity and of being troublemakers. A funny and moving production, it tells the history of dementia activism with the voices of real Scottish people with lived experience shaping its story.
