Too Young To Stay In, Too Old To Go Out! By Nigel Osner

8pm Wednesday - One Night Only!

Nigel Osner’s songs and stories take a quizzical look at the challenges and opportunities for those no longer young. On the one hand, there are daunting realities and cruel setbacks. On the other, we can learn what’s best for ourselves, find ways to enjoy life and have unexpected victories.

• A rich designer falls for his hunky gardener.

• Raoul finds love at the precise moment he finds himself in a wheelchair.

• Rosie is driven to the edge of madness on a river cruise.

• Marlene is a fading star on a tour that never seems to end.So

The show explores dating, love, work, holidays - even the gym! So swap your Horlicks for something stronger and join Nigel for a richly comic exploration of ageing with a bitter sweet edge.
