Speech Therapist Synopsis:A heart-warming but bittersweet story about the relationship between a unique mother and her son. Based on Deric Longden's autobiographical account of his mother's battle with the onset of old age. Pete Postlethwaite stars as Deric alongside Dame Thora Hird as his indomitable mother, Annie. Gregarious, free spirited and unabashedly quirky, Annie could put anyone under the spell of her unique charisma. However, when it becomes apparent that she is too old to live alone anymore, Deric must choose a nursing home for her, a task that proves to be difficult, though Annie handles it in her characteristically bold and no nonsense manner. However, when a series of strokes robs her of her speech, her most treasured faculty, she and Deric must come to terms with her declining health. This award winning drama is a heart warming tale of a son s relationship with his eccentric mother whose health is in decline. Stars Pete Postlethwaite, Penny Dowie and the wonderful Thoria Hird Thora Hird won a BAFTA and a Royal Television Society award for best actress for her performance and Pete Postlewaite was nominated for a BAFTA award for best actor. Lost for Words is a poignant autobiography of Deric Longden's relationship with his aging and eccentric mother, Annie. The opening scene depicts Annie as an opinionated, never-at-a-loss-for-words character who insists upon running the show, even going so far as choosing her own Mother's Day card and dictating how mundane chores should be performed. But everything changes when a debilitating stroke suddenly silences her. The heartwarming story, a son-to-mother tribute, traces the difficult care-giving decisions that Deric and his wife, writer Aileen Armitage, faced as the courageous Annie's health failed. The cast includes Thora Hird as Annie, Pete Postlethwaite as Deric, and Penny Downie as Aileen Longden. Lost for Words is a sequel to Deric Longden's 1994 autobiographical story, "Wide Eyed and Legless". Deric Longden and his wife, Aileen, come to terms with the fact that his mother, Annie, is getting too old to live on her own. Annie suffers her first stroke and a nursing home is the obvious solution, but which one and where?
