“That’s life”, sings Frank Sinatra over the sound system, in just one of the many hits from his back catalogue that makes up the soundtrack to In Other Words. And he has a point: this understated drama about the slow progress of Alzheimer’s disease, which returns to the Arcola after an acclaimed 2023 run (and an award-winning French translation), is a heartbreaking paean to the parts of life that we can’t avoid.
The Reviews Hub: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A beautiful, mature, unflinching tale, this is one to catch at the Arcola before this nationwide tour comes to an end"
