About the show
Living on the Moon is a one-woman show written and performed by Molly McFadden, presented by M & B Productions in association with Fringe Management at the Dram venue. Drawing on her experience of her mother's decline from Alzheimer's, Molly explores grief, truth and letting go through music, puppetry and love. The puppet — named Memory — represents her mother and is voiced and animated by Molly herself. The show has taken on deeper personal resonance since Molly learned she carries the gene for Alzheimer's and has been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment. It runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Tender, funny and deeply personal, this one-woman show uses a puppet named Memory to illuminate the experience of losing a parent to Alzheimer's. Molly McFadden brings rare honesty and warmth to an achingly human story.
