TampaRep and Creative Loafing present a staged reading of Blackberry Winter, a mythic tragicomedy about Alzheimer’s, that asks the question: How can you laugh when you talk about Alzheimer’s? One answer: Because you have to, or you’re going to lose it. The play is “a wonderful handling of the loss that dementia brings, long before the loss of the loved one. Funny, devastating. . . perfectly placed on that line of despair and divinity that comes with caregiving.” “You might describe it as a play about Alzheimer’s,” said one reviewer. “But I think more accurately it’s a play about what it’s like to love someone with Alzheimer’s.”
Ages: High school and above
