Beyond Caring

A Gala Durham & Queen’s Hall Arts Centre co-production
By Christina Castling
Directed by Jonluke McKie
Design by Ellie Light

Meet Queenie, Elaine and Alex, resident, relative and carer at Cedar Point Care Home. A place where the corridors roar with laughter and ache with sadness and where outrageous antics mingle with tough conversations.

Beyond Caring is a powerful new play that takes a frank, humorous and heartbreaking look at life behind the doors of a care home. Based on interviews with residents, relatives and staff, this play uncovers the reality of caring for others, looking after ourselves and getting older.

“a warm, well-informed examination of life in care homes that remembers the funny and absurd side of life at the end of the age range”.”
