Forgotten is a story of four elderly people living in separate retirement homes. They are remembering the time in the 1940s and how their lives became close, without them realising it. Each of the characters contributes to the overall story in a surprising way, slowly revealing how their lives are interconnected .With exhilarating theatricality and haunting honesty, Kinevane’s captivating performance populates the stage with many characters and brings to life these sometimes forgotten voices of society.
