The Sundowners

2010

The title refers to a psychological phenomenon associated with Alzheimer's disease where the patient begins suffering from a multitude of behavioral problems coinciding with the setting of the sun. 

Revolving around the intimate lives of residents at a nursing home this play confronted the realities of their declining mental faculties and their relationships with those around them. 

The set itself was fragmented and furnished with common everyday items that had been deliberately repurposed in order to bring the audience into the patients' confused mindset; ladders were bookshelves, hats were soup bowls, windows were clocks.
