REBUS and Taggart ­actor John McQuiston is starring in a play about dementia.

The Quiet Riot focuses on a family living with dementia and has been praised for its strong realism.

Playwright Maggie Aitken said: "The play focuses on dementia, the difficulties and the practical changes in life, all based on the real testimony of those who've been there or who are going through it right now."

Two free performances will be held at Motherwell Concert Hall on January 15.
