'They say we're like swans. Ruddy beautiful graceful things on the
surface of a lake but underneath we're paddling like mad.' Maggie
and Gordon first met, dancing to Rod Stewart songs, in 1971. Now in
their sixties, and still very much in love, they've been finishing
each other's songs all their marriage. But now Maggie is feeling
foggy and some days the songs are all she can remember. Her son and
his new girlfriend are coming to dinner, and her best friend is
asking questions. Frances Poet's play Maggie May is an
extraordinary drama about an ordinary family who must balance the
challenges of daily life whilst living with dementia. A heartfelt
and inspiring story of hope, it was first produced in 2020 by Leeds
Playhouse, Curve Theatre, Leicester, and Queen's Theatre
Hornchurch, directed by Jemima Levick. It was a finalist for the
2020-21 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.
