Navigating Maragret - Autumn 2026
A unique and creative approach to dementia awareness
Wonderful, magical, it helps dispel the fear around dementia - audience member
Arts Uplift CIC is thrilled to announce a run of new dementia awareness performances and related public workshops of Navigating Margaret in Autumn 2026 in Nuneaton, Leicester and West Bromwich, thanks to funding from Community Education Academy of Leadership, University of Warwick, Alzheimer's Research UK and Develop Warwickshire Fund.
A Story of Resilience and Awareness
Navigating Margaret is an entertaining, informative and powerful theatrical production inspired by real-life experiences which delves into the journey of a Worcestershire woman living with Alzheimer's dementia, exploring its impact on both her and her family.
The story weaves together Margaret's remarkable past as one of Worcestershire's first female pilots with her present-day struggles. With a touch of fairy-tale magic, the play uses text, movement, and music to create a captivating blend of realism and abstraction. Talented actors will bring the story to life, raising crucial awareness about dementia, a condition affecting 1 in 14 adults over 65.
Jenny Davis Executive Director of Arts Uplift says “After such an overwhelmingly positive response to previous stagings, we are thrilled to bring this beautiful and vital show to new audiences and participants in Nuneaton, Leicester and West Bromwich.
The play and associated dementia workshops are suitable for theatre goers, people with early-stage dementia, older people, professional care staff, NHS workers, health students, volunteers, carers and family members and anyone generally interested in knowing more about dementia.
