Grove Cinema – Friday 5th June 6.45pm for 7pm showing – ‘Lost for Words’ (Dementia Week Special)
To mark Dementia Action Week (18-24 May 2026) Grove Cinema will be screening Lost for words, starring Pete Postlethwaite and Thora Hird. Deric Longden’s teleplay for this moving drama is based on his own experience of looking after his mother in her old age.
Annie Longden (Thora Hird) is an eccentric OAP whose mind does not always operate upon logical lines. When she suffers a series of strokes, however, her mental condition deteriorates, and she becomes increasingly unable to use the correct words for everyday objects. Son Deric (Pete Postlethwaite) copes with Annie’s gradual decline with patient good humour.

In this fast-moving show, written and developed for audiences of all ages, all faiths and none, James Cary shows how familiar Bible stories still in our culture like Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, the Tower of Babel, David and Goliath and Jesus, all fit together. Can he really get through all that in 60 minutes? It will be fun finding out!
James Cary is an extremely experienced comedy writer, with a track record of making audiences laugh out loud. That’s been his job for 20 years, writing episodes of Miranda, My Family, My Hero and Citizen Khan for BBC TV and Hut 33, Think the Unthinkable and Another Case of Milton Jones for BBC Radio 4 – all filmed in front of studio audiences.
