Onwards and Sideways

“Chronicles a touching story about two people with lots in common — a sense of humour, a love of dance, and Parkinson’s.”

Tony Evans is the deputy head of a local primary school. Emma Dretzin is a pianist, composer and single mother of two daughters. Neither knows the other until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives: on the same morning, they are both confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.
