A daughter's journey as a caregiver reveals the struggles, hope, and unseen strength in love.
"Remembrance," a new play by Patricia Goodson, shifts the focus from Alzheimer’s patients to their caregivers, drawing from the playwright’s own experience caring for her mother over twelve years. The story follows a daughter’s emotional and physical struggles as she supports her mother through the disease, revealing how caregiving takes a deep personal toll. Through sessions with a psychiatrist, the daughter explores themes of survivor’s guilt, helplessness, and resilience, while the play’s diverse characters—including doctors and a devoted professional caregiver—offer insight into the complexities of this journey. Set across three key locations, the drama portrays both the hardships and unexpected moments of grace in caregiving, ultimately reminding audiences that love, support, and hope can emerge even in life’s most challenging moments.
