Alzheimer’s didn’t take just one life. It changed all of ours.”

Warewaretia is a powerful one-woman theatre work by award-winning writer and performer Kristyl Neho, bringing 19 characters to life in an intimate, raw and deeply human story about whānau, memory and love.

Inspired by Kristyl’s grandmother’s who she called mum and her journey with Alzheimer’s, Warewaretia captures what happens inside a family when memory begins to fade, the chaos, the humour, the heartbreak, and the fierce love that holds everyone together.

First developed at Toi Whakaari in 2008 and later presented by The Conch in 2009, the work was performed at the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival in 2016. It has since been fully redeveloped, returning as a bold new reimagined version shaped by time, lived experience, and deeper insight.

Following the success of Kristyl’s award-winning, sold-out solo show Tangihanga, Warewaretia moves between laughter and tears, delivering an unforgettable theatrical experience that is both deeply personal and widely relatable.
