‘DON’T LEAVE ME NOW’ was inspired by two real stories and explores with humour and insight the impact of early onset dementia on two very different families – a journey of love, loss and duty. It has had more than 120 performances throughout the UK and is endorsed by all major Dementia Charities, The National Council for Palliative Care, Cruse and Age UK.

the play is subtly powerful, sympathetic and sharp, sad and funny…..Where dementia is the villain, words are priceless”

Howard Jacobson, Booker Prize winning author (New Statesman, May 2016)

Brian Daniels, born in Leeds, is an established playwright and theatre practitioner.
