Old Bags
T1833600228
"So much old stuff! It makes me sick. Most of the oldies' houses are all alike. Same old smell, same furniture, old pictures." Days pass with unceasing repetitions in the life of two people, Vivian and Dorian. Vivian, an Irish lady in her seventies, widow of a British Army official, ignores the first signs of dementia. Dorian, like a hamster on wheel, questions his place in the rat race. Old Bags, an incisive new comedy drama, tells two stories, two journeys, of two unlikely companions, through laughter and tears. This play about getting old and its challenges is told by a writing that - like Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie - mixes surreal, dream-like moments with a naturalistic style that is both compassionate and inquisitive.
