What is “Dophamine” play?

A gorgeous true-love story between a Granddaughter and her Grandma following a Parkinson's Diagnosis. The world seems entirely against them at times; the ground shifts and new developments leave Tasha thinking she's running to keep Kitty alive, but who is really saving who? The need for answers becomes more frantic throughout the 15-year journey as Tasha's understanding of the condition increases and the search for a cure becomes more desperate. This cross-generation relationship is one of true adoration as both navigate a 'new normal' in the midst of a declining illness.

Why are we crowdfunding?

Our main investor fell through at the last minute and we now have to raise the funds to cover the venue by May 1st or our show gets cancelled.

Who am I?

My name is Tasha, I’m an Acting CDT graduate from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama who has recently finished recording a 16-part drama with Complitice and BBC World Service and the BBC Radio Drama Company.

This is my first devised show since graduating; I started devising this  in my first year at Central to fund cure research for PD but sadly lost my grandma a few months after that and it’s taken me nearly three years to get the courage to perform this piece.

How we’ll spend the money raised

The money raised will be spent as follows: 

• Venue Hire: £2,900
• Edinburgh Fringe Reg fees: £340
• Flyering costs: £200
