The Woman in the Mirror

About:

A fearlessly honest, bitingly witty and unexpectedly uplifting true story of a mother and daughter navigating the realities of caregiving. Blindsided when her mother receives a life-changing diagnosis, Dayna writes a Facebook post. Waking up to hundreds of responses she realises she isn’t alone, and begins to share all the ups, downs, hilarity and heartbreak with her new-found cyber support network. An award-winning play from Radio Hall of Famer Dayna Steele, based on the best-selling book Surviving Alzheimer's with Friends, Facebook and a Really Big Glass of Wine. ‘A love letter to caregivers.’ (Houston Press)

Press & Reviews:
★★★★ The Edinburgh Reporter 'Moving, informative and, at times, darkly humorous' Entertainment Now 'Hugely moving...but also full of humour and moments of joy.' The Herald 'Use the headline: The 10 best shows I've seen so far' ★★★★ Edinburgh Reviews 'powerful, unsparing, and necessary' ★★★★ THE LIST 'Steele is an incredible storyteller. Funny, frustrating and painfully honest...Stories like Steele’s deserve to be told, not kept behind closed doors.' The Scotsman 'Candid, unflinching, emotionally rich.' ★★★★ Corr Blimey 'A magnificently nuanced performance. Her exquisite comedic timing and sharp observational wit keep the heavy subject matter engaging.'
