The play deals with T’Wana Jepson, nurse’s aide for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia. She’s accustomed to being scratched and bit by her charges, but something happens after she’s attacked by the patient in E 204 to threaten the bonds of trust and friendship.

Tickets are available online here, and the show runs until Oct. 27. Performances will be at the Trinity River Arts Center, 2600 N. Stemmons Freeway.
