If you can't trust your memory what can you trust?

Martin has a problem, he can’t make new memories. Since he went to the dentist ten years ago, every morning when he wakes up it’s 2008. The last ten years? A total blank. He’s a cabbie with The Knowledge, but he doesn't know what he had for breakfast.

Inspired by a true story, Timeless spends a single day in Martin's bewildering world. It’s strange and unsettling for him, but his wife has the daily heartbreak of explaining just what’s wrong. And the strain is beginning to show.

A single-hander, written by Brian Coyle, directed by Charlotte Peters and performed by John Rayment, Timeless is a compassionate, funny and searching account of how his condition affects the whole family.

Do our memories define us? What if we lose them? And how reliable are they anyway?

5 stars - From London Theatre 1
“An absolute treat, tender and strong all in one, and you leave feeling profoundly affected”

“I didn’t want it to end”

“Excellent writing by Brian Coyle, excellent direction by Charlotte Peters and wonderfully acted by John Rayment”

4 stars – From The Up Coming
“A moving exploration of the distress and disorientation of memory loss, Timeless is a stirring, illuminative piece about that which shapes us: the mind”

“Coyle’s praiseworthy writing is intelligent, thought-provoking and human”

“Rayment admirably portrays the protagonist with great skill and sensitivity”
