Elder Abuse issue play

Dad has reached a certain age where he needs to be looked after. Although keen to go into a home, one of his daughters decide he'd be better off with her and her family. However, tempers soon flare and difficulties arise. Concerned primarily with elder abuse, the play examines bullying from a wider context. The bully in one environment can become the bullied in another. Initially commissioned by Age Concern Hampshire, this play has played to many audiences and often provokes a strong reaction. The play also examines unwitting abuse at home as opposed to institutional abuse in care homes etc.
