A unique theatre production focusing on the lives of carers of people with terminal illnesses will take place in St Francis Hospice, Raheny, Dublin next Friday, May 30.
'CARE' looks at the field of palliative care and the people who work in it.
It was developed with WillFredd Theatre, artistic collaborators and Irish hospice staff.
CARE, which has been critically acclaimed on its previous performances, uses music, movement, text and design to provide insight into the the daily life of a hospice.
According to WillFredd Theatre, the show emphasises that hospice care is not about death but is really about life, and the people who help 'add life to days'.
It demonstrates what the many carers involved in looking after terminally ill people do on a day to day basis.
The play is aimed in particular healthcare professionals with an interest in palliative care and in general at anyone interested in this area.
Tickets, which cost €10are available for the show at email info@willfredd.com or online at www.willfredd.com
