Best Regional Fringe Production 2018
(Always Time For Theatre)

stage@leeds associate artists 'Forget About the Dog' return to the Alec Clegg studio with their critically acclaimed and award winning, high energy, humerous and moving production 100 Ways to Tie a Shoelace.

This is a real 'must see' show in an intimate setting that really allows yopu to inhabit the story as it unfolds.

'I can't fault this show. It’s a brilliantly crafted piece which gets all the important parts right and then some - there’s meaning and importance to the story and there’s a pleasing amount of finely tuned comedy too - there is quite literally never a dull moment, and that’s really quite rare.' ***** Always Time For Theatre

They call it ‘the incident’ now. What happened, when they first met. He always said it was part of his
romantic plan, but they both know that’s rubbish.
Join Arthur and Jane, at the beginning, as they tell us their story.
Connected by the music of Frank Sinatra, this
intimate, humorous and deeply moving love story
explores the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and the
transformative power of music in our lives.

SOUNDTRACK

‘I’m lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily…’ It’s the big night, maybe the most important night of your life. So why can’t you stop thinking about the one person who isn’t going to be here to see you?�James is poised of the edge of the unknown. He might be about to get everything he ever dreamed of. But his mind is elsewhere. Pestered by visiting well-wishers and plagued by flashbacks, James just needs someone to listen. With his thoughts moving at a million miles an hour, James opens up and invites you to witness his inner monologue.
