  • About The Piece

    Charlie and Doris are an elderly New Zealand married couple. Doris has chronic arthritis and is confined to a wheel-chair, but is mentally very alert. Charlie is in good physical health but he has the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease. Thus, “a brain without a body” is co-dependent with “a body without a brain”. The authorities want them to be institutionalised, but Doris is determined to keep them independent. The script is enlivened, and given some humour, by Charlie’s memories, and his and Doris’s joint re-enactment, of his career as an army Sergeant Major.

  • Director's Note

    This play stood out to me as ideal for Short+Sweet. Three characters, no set, no furniture, few props, and simple lighting. And a great story.

  • About the Director

    I think good short theatre is either an interesting snapshot, or a good yarn. For me this play is both. We’ll be working to balance the realism with the dramatic.
