\n\tSorting the Sock Drawer<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\n<\/p>\n \n\t– A one-woman show by Eirwen Malin on Thursday 27th September 2018, 7pm Wenvoe Arms Function Room.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t“Medron was a good king; kind, just and surprisingly progressive. The country prospered. But there was something wrong, something wrong with Medron himself and he knew it. It all started when he noticed that the sole of his right shoe kept wearing out much more quickly than the left”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tAfter several years of occasional visits to the GP surgery with odd and unexplained symptoms, one of the GPs referred me to a neurologist “to put my mind at rest”. After nearly 12 months of waiting, I finally got my appointment and the consultant unexpectedly, and with somewhat clumsy practice, diagnosed Parkinson’s Disease, a degenerative, incurable, neurological condition which according to him is “devastating in its later stages”. My world had been upended but the good (?) news was PD does not particularly shorten lifespan. You just have to learn to live with it, potentially for a very long time.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tSorting the Sock Drawer intertwines Medron’s mythical journey with my personal path. As protagonists of each story we gain new strengths as we face challenges and arrive at journey’s end with a changed and meaningful life. Come and join us to hear what I hope is an entertaining and uplifting tale.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tI’ll look forward to a chat in the bar afterwards.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThis is the first date of a new tour of the show. Previous audiences have said:-<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t“Funny, sad, thought-provoking."<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t"Beautifully crafted. I love the blend of traditional and personal story.”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t“The message will stay with me… Life is different, but not necessarily worse”<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThanks to Jenny and Digby at The Wenvoe for providing the venue for free. There is no charge though there will be a voluntary donation to a Parkinson’s charity.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tNumbers are restricted so please book your seat by texting Phil 07870 212437 or email philipthomas664@gmail.com.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tAccess to the venue is via steps – apologies to those who have restricted mobility.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tRunning time about 1hour 15 mins.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tI hope to see you there<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tEirwen<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sorting the Sock Drawer – A one-woman show by Eirwen Malin on Thursday 27th September 2018, 7pm Wenvoe Arms Function Room. “Medron was a good king; kind, just and surprisingly progressive.
