A story of an unlikely friendship, acceptance, understanding and love.

Presented by award-winning full-mask maestros, this is the story of a cross-generational friendship between teenager Liam, who has ADHD, and his 91-year-old neighbour, Albert. Performed without words, it has been created through community conversations across the UK, gathering people’s experiences of ADHD, loneliness, aging, hearing loss, connection and community.

Touching, funny, poignant, clever, insightful and technically flawless - this is a must-see show for anyone who enjoys theatre at its best.
