Simeon’s Watch (Sat 10 Dec)
Leah keeps losing things. First it was her knitting, then the sheep. She frequently loses her temper and some days she thinks she’s losing her mind. Or is it her father Simeon who’s doing that? Staring out of the window, waiting with unshakeable conviction for ‘God knows what’. As the nights draw in, watching her father’s dementia slow him down and her daughter’s future race ahead, Leah seems to be waiting – but for what? Simeon’s Watch is an engaging new play about family. A wonderful story about growing old, discovering hope and being surprised.
