About Natalie Grove
Jello Brain is a solo show by Natalie Grove, presented at Olive Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The piece explores the experience of a mother developing Alzheimer's at 55, moving into memory care, and what that does to the daughter left trying to make sense of it — and of her own brain. Raw and stream-of-consciousness in form, the show moves through fear, grief, gratitude, and unexpected territory. It is free to attend, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Honest, urgent and formally inventive, this free solo show takes on Alzheimer's, fear and the fragility of memory with a voice that is genuinely unlike anything else at the Fringe. Moving and surprising in equal measure.
