Can Yow Remember

“Sometimes it's like tuning the radio. Turning the dial to just the right station. You sneeze and you've lost it. The words are all crackly, my memories in a different order or fading in and out. All these sounds and songs… stories!” 

Come join us on a journey through the Black Country. Travel through the radio waves from the Andrew Sisters to The Beatles and Stones to Duran Duran and beyond, through the memories of those who lived it, loved it and now share it, for you to see live on stage. 

Meet local legend Billy Muggins blowing raspberries whilst gathering tat, come scrumping for apples with Audrey O’Neil, and dance the night away with T-Rex.

 “Mark Bolan – Now there was a guy ahead of his time. The Hair, The Gibson Les Paul, The Feathers…The TIGHT Trousers.”

Can Yow Remember? Was created through a series of creative, reminiscence workshops with those locally, living with dementia, across the Black Country. This brand-new verbatim style show captures their memories featuring three new songs written, learned and recorded by participants, composer Jonny Amos and Anthem Voices.

Created in partnership with the Wolverhampton Grand, Arena Theatre & Forget Me Not Cafe.
