About this event

Tony Evans is deputy head of a primary school. Emma Dretzin is a musician and composer, and single mother of two daughters. Neither knows the other. Until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives. On the same morning, these two are simultaneously confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease.

A story of humour and emotion, of challenge and bravado, of music and dance – transcending the assumptions of a little understood condition.
