FORGET ME NOT – THE ALZHEIMER’S WHODUNNIT
Unforgettable actually.
Rob Gee is a force. Big, bald and British, Gee slips seamlessly between fifteen distinct characters without prop or costume aid. It really is a thing to see. And hear. Gee’s deep baritone pitches, his body language contorts, and subtle mannerisms help pull this off. A wonderful story full of intrigue, charm and heartbreak, “Forget Me Not” is the murder mystery to remember. It is also bloody funny. Come for the mystery, stay for the laughs, and don’t forget your hankie.

Amazing. Such an enjoyable performance. Though Rob Gee is playing all of the characters himself, he does so in a way that allows the audience to easily distinguish between them, which was quite the skill to behold. The show is both very funny and very touching, and the story is expertly written and performed. Very, very highly recommend this show!
