2011 Fringe First Award Winnerlsquo;Henry; are you awake?rsquo;Henry lives each day like the last. Exactly like the last. Every day; he tries to make sense of the world around him; the girl sitting on the lawn outside his window; the pages of a book filled with the same sentence; the 80 year old man looking at him in the mirror.In 2009 Patient H.M.rsquo;s brain is dissected live on the internet to a global audience of 400;000 people; cut into carefully preserved slices: manuscripts of tissue like the pages of a book.In 1953 Henry Molaison emerges from experimental brain surgery without any recollection of the last two years of his life or the ability to form new memories.In 1935 nine-year old Henry is knocked over by a bike; leaving him unconscious for five minutes.Following Analogues critically acclaimed Mile End and Beachy Head and inspired by the worldrsquo;s most important neuroscientific case-study; 2401 Objects tells the remarkable story of a man who could no longer remember; but who has proven impossible to forget.lsquo;I defy anyone not be drawn into this deeply moving examination of life; death and memory.rsquo; - Telegraphlsquo;2401 Objects is a solid; well-researched piece of theatre that adds to Analogues ever-growing canon of work.rsquo; - Total Theatre Reviewlsquo;Beautifully-sculpted... an understated and outstandingly gentle piece of theatrersquo; -The Scotsman
