A COMEDIAN used his experiences as a psychiatric nurse to pen a ‘Whodunnit’ show with a twist.
Rob Gee plays 15 different characters in his award-winning show ‘Forget Me Not - The Alzheimer’s Whodunnit’.
Mr Gee, who worked for 12-years in psychiatric units, now writes full-time and has won more than 20 international awards for his solo shows and regularly appears on BBC Radio.
He performed his latest production at Rural Arts in Thirsk on Tuesday before touring Canada and America next year.
Mr Gee based Forget Me Not on his experiences as a student nurse on a “challenging behaviour” ward for people with late stage dementia. He said: “I eventually left under a bit of a cloud after reporting some of what I saw. “Much has improved since then, but vulnerable people will always be at risk. With our population ageing and healthcare spending becoming more of an issue, I wanted to add to the conversation.”
