Ageing: It happens to us all. On the one hand, there are daunting realities and cruel setbacks. On the other, there is pleasure to be had, celebration and the chance to keep evolving. Written and performed by the “tremendously talented and very entertaining Nigel Osner” (The Scotsman), Too Young To Stay In,Too Old To Go Out! takes an entertaining look at dating, love, work, holidays, gym and sex for those no longer young.

This “Witty, bitchy, achingly sad and strangely uplifting” show (Broadway Baby) is relatable for those who have reached a grand old age and a glimpse at what is to come for those not quite there yet. Putting the real-life experiences of older people on stage is vital. So don’t be scared – come and get tips on ageing disgracefully!

The show will be 85 minutes without an interval
