I recently opened up an email from the lovely Zoë Strachan that had the title “Old Girls”. At first I thought she was taking a completely different approach to our forthcoming event Experience Counts and I wasn’t too sure how popular an approach it would be….but thankfully I read on to be pleasantly surprised.
Zoë’s play “Old Girls” is going to open the new season of A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Oran Mor at the end of August. The play is a comedy and what better way to spend a lunch time than laughing over a pie and a pint (of fruit juice of course!!) Check out more details below.
Old Girls
Thelma and Louise for the nursing home generation . . .
Sadie and Mabel are in their eighties, and they feel their lives are under threat. After decades of friendship, Mabel’s imminent move to a care home is about to split them up for good. Emboldened by desperate circumstances, they hatch a plan that could rescue their relationship and show the world that being old doesn’t mean being past it. Mabel’s grandson Stephen has his own problems, but can he stop the two women before they go too far?
