Theatre Ad Infinitum invites you on a journey of life, death, and enduring love. After his wife passes away, William escapes to a paradise of fantasy and past memories, a place far from the reality of his grief. Returning from beyond the grave, Rose revisits her widowed companion to perform one last act of love: to help him let go.

'An extraordinary performance' Observer

'An admirable, infinitely gentle and wordless story of loss and remembrance' The Times

'The inventiveness of the storytelling is constantly amazing, the story universal and bittersweet, and the performance immaculate ... I really cannot recommend this highly enough' The Stage

'Extraordinarily poignant...beautifully performed.... packs a real emotional punch. In the end, this is a show about loss and bereavement that is as much about mourning your own lost self as about the grief at the death of a long-term partner.' The Guardian

I can't remember being more moved in the theatre. In my opinion (for what it's worth) this show is great art. The equivalent of Beethoven or a Monet painting. Love and loss portrayed simply but made all the more powerful by the physical theatre form, so often the excuse for pretentiousness. All the elements: the performances, the design of the masks, the music, including the 'whooshes' of air produced by the accordian (a totally original idea), combined perfectly.
