Why Growing Old is Great - T0781644580When an agony aunt reaches sixty she can lie like a trooper, jump off a bridge or take to the stage. Virginia Ironside explains that unlimited free drugs, boring for Britain, fun funerals, grandchildren and sex-or, even better, no sex-make the sixties the best and funniest time of your life. The Virginia Monologues premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to great acclaim and played a limited season of sold out performances in 2010. All proceeds from this event will go to Children on the Edge.Director Nigel Planer. Performer Virginia Ironside. | |

Why It's Great to be Sixty! - T0700809691Virginia Ironside, doyenne of Fleet Street and agony aunt extraordinaire, performed this sharply observed and witty stand-up show to great acclaim at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival. Determined to spread the word that there s a lot more to old age than crumbling into dust, she talks about the pleasures of passing sixty. She can lie like a trooper, jump off a bridge or take to the stage and unlimited free drugs, boring for Britain, fun and funerals, grandchildren and sex - or, even better, no sex - make the sixties the best, and funniest, time of your life.Director Nigel Planer.
