Elaine is starting to forget.
Beverly wishes she wouldn’t remember.
Emma just wants her family back.
This brand-new heart-warming musical follows three generations of women and their coming together after a long time apart.
When her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Beverly and her husband Rick open their home to care for her. While adjusting to their new circumstances, Beverly’s daughter Emma – a non-speaking autistic teenager with synaesthesia – unexpectedly crashes back into her life. Her arrival forces Beverly and Rick to confront the past and learn whether they can become the family Emma so desperately needs.
A beautiful mix of humour and soul, with songs that will make your heart soar, INDIGO celebrate the bonds of women, family and the ultimate need for one another. Be part of an intimate insight into Emma’s world of colour as she opens her heart to the audience, even while she remains silent to the outside world.
