The Generation Gap

‘  the generation gap’ is the story of Reg, an 86 year old who feels at odds with his life. His world is one of coping without his wife, a failing memory and the thoughts of an imminent death. His grandson Charlie’s world is a different one. A fast paced world of internet shopping and travelling the world. Reg and Charlie care about each other but can they ever understand each other’s worlds.

When his grandson Charlie persuades him to go on a game show ‘the generation gap’ the events that follow are set to blow the gap between them even wider. Reg has to come to terms with his age and Charlie has to learn that there is more to his Granddad than he ever could have imagined.

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 empowers and protects people who may not be able to make some decisions for themselves, mental capacity is the ability to make decisions.

People may have difficulties making some decisions about lots of things in their lives, either all or some of the time; like financial, social care or medical treatment . The act affects families, carers, health and social care staff, and other people who may have contact with vulnerable adults.

Do you care for, work with, or know someone who has difficulties in making decisions?

This play is a powerful way of exploring and experiencing the human condition. By using theatre, an audience is able to empathise with characters while at the same time retaining some objectivity on a characters situation.
