About In Other Words

They call it “the incident” now—what happened when they first met. He always said it was part of his “romantic plan,” but they both know that’s rubbish.

The show follows a couple who represent the effects of Alzheimer’s, as they are both connected by the voice of Frank Sinatra and the transformative power of music to help us remember the past, connect with the present, and hope for the future.
