The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes took a group of people with varying forms of dementia and gave them the opportunity to work in a restaurant - the results are on 4od now. It's a great concept for a show and an experiment - incredible people have been written off as incapable of working but the show asks what happens if you give people responsibility again? Lorayne was one of the participants and has early onset frontotemporal dementia. Here she tells her story in Best and it was wonderful to work with her. Lorayne has lost none of her wit, strength or courage.The title refers to the film Still Alice, which is a devastating but poignant watch. Lorayne's story is out now in Best.
