The ‘Alonely’ show was a live theatre piece made up from reflections on isolation and loneliness of older people who live in the BS3 area in South Bristol, UK. In 2016 a group of older volunteers, trained in Community Research, interviewed a number of local older people who have been affected in one way or another. Their experiences and opinions were transcribed, mixed with a few thoughts from the interviewers and then reshuffled and refined by a local dramaturge, Adam Peck. They are performed here in audio by the same volunteer Community Researchers – Alexandra, Carol, Chris, Judith and Steve.
