Dorset’s rural touring arts charity, Artsreach, is pleased to present Stute Theatre’s You Don’t Know Me But…, a new show written and performed by winning theatre maker Sophia Hatfield and directed by Olivier Award Winning Theatre and BBC Radio Director Gwenda Hughes.

Performed live over the telephone, this innovative piece allows audience members the opportunity to experience a real live theatre performance from the comfort of their own home, at a time when live face-to- face theatre is not possible. Meet Vick. Care giver, mother, partner and daughter. You’ve almost certainly walked past her in the street, stood behind her in a queue or driven past her in your car.

Now take the time to delve a little deeper and experience a day in her life. Vick is a care worker in a residential home. As her working day progresses, hear her running from place to place, helping residents to dress, keeping them calm and offering a friendly ear to talk to. But today, something is different. The day’s encounters gradually uncover a deeply hidden memory and Vick finds herself transported back to her childhood, where a traumatic incident changes her outlook forever…

Inspired by real memories and interviews from a care home, this innovative 20- minute audio play highlights unsung stories of everyday care across generations and celebrates the dedication of workers and residents in care homes across the UK. Expect live music and beautiful writing. There are just 30 slots available between 3pm and 7pm on the 15, 16, 27, 27 and 28 March.
