Detour that’s worth it all

A PLAY about a man suffering from locked-in syndrome is to be performed in the Capital.

Stuart Hepburn had a stroke some years ago, and while he is aware and awake, he is unable to walk or talk.

Despite the challenges, Stuart says that his life is good and that it is his spiritual life, and meditation, that makes this possible.

A Most Curious Detour will be staged on Saturday, June 2 at Netherbow Theatre on the Royal Mile.

Adapted from Stuart’s book, the play is written by Alistair Rutherford and is directed by James McSharry.
