SIE Shanghai have given a quick update on how a few of these games are doing in terms of development at the Playstation China Hero Project Spring Showcase today, but did not release any new footage. Lost Soul Aside, Pervader and Project Boundary All in Steady Development Today there was a slight update on a few of the projects at the Playstation China Hero Project Spring Showcase. You get to inhabit blurring layers of consciousness, get to slide from warmth to abusiveness to humor at warp speed, and get to register how it feels to have reality suddenly drop away beneath you like a trap door.It was last year in August when Sony Interactive Entertainment Shanghai showcased a number of games that have been supported by the Playstation China Hero Project, showing off some of indie developers works at ChinaJoy 2018. But playing a character with dementia is. When you're young you can play Hamlet or Hedda Gabler or Blanche DuBois, but aside from King Lear - whom Jackson actually played on stage in 2019 - most roles for the old aren't very juicy or challenging. She keeps recalling - no, make that reliving - the great trauma of her teenage years: the unexplained disappearance of her stylish older sister, Sukey.Īs these time periods merge in her head, Maud must solve two mysteries: What happened to Sukey decades ago and what has happened to Elizabeth now? Meanwhile, she keeps forgetting the basic facts of everyday life - and then pretending she hasn't. Not even Elizabeth's son, whose dark nature scared his mother.Īs Maud tries to trace Elizabeth's movements, she plunges down the rabbit hole of memory. Not Maud's beleaguered daughter, Helen, who looks after her mum and gets little kindness in return. Elizabeth has vanished - yet no one else seems fussed by this. One day, Elizabeth doesn't turn up for their meeting at the local thrift shop, and Maud is beside herself. If she feels bound to anyone, it's her friend Elizabeth, with whom she likes to garden.
Jackson plays Maud, a proud woman whose grasp of reality is slipping away - post-it notes line her walls and pockets to remind her of everything. Theater Glenda Jackson On Playing King Lear: Gender Barriers 'Crack' With Age
#Lost soul aside trademark movie
Based on a novel by Emma Healey, this BBC production is a strangely cockeyed psychological thriller - a Disease of the Week movie crossed with Memento. Even when a hyper-critical London friend told me I should watch, I remember thinking, "Sure, if I live to be a million." But somehow I wound up with time on my hands, and guess what? Elizabeth Is Missing was not what I feared. My own heart sank when I first heard about Elizabeth Is Missing, a new television film on PBS' Masterpiece channel that stars Glenda Jackson as a woman battling dementia. And the people over 50 who I know shudder at the thought of watching comedies about cute bucket-listers or dramas where the aged spend their days grappling with disease, death and loss. The young are too busy being young to be interested in those with gray hair.

Maud (Glenda Jackson) is haunted by two mysteries in the television film Elizabeth is Missing, based on a novel by Emma Healey.
