An Old Song, Half Forgotten

A play that opens a window into the life and soul of an older actor who is living in care with Alzheimer's disease, rebuilding a man just as he begins to crack and fade.

Deirdre Kinahan's short play An Old Song, Half Forgotten was first staged by the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in April 2023, performed by Bryan Murray.

In 2024, Deirdre Kinahan and Bryan Murray were jointly awarded the inaugural Pratchett Prize for challenging the stigma of Alzheimer's Disease through the play.
