Not Modern
Far on in Natural Period of Existence.
Advanced in age.
Is this what every one thinks of age when we are old.
Our first production
For Reflections first play I knew had to be something close to me. I wanted to write something that explored the sterotypes of today. I had often noticed that older family members when with family seem to act iller and they can't do things they normally do. I began to think about what it is like to be a old woman and how they react with other old people.
This is when I wrote my play with two old woman who have a life that only they see the young the family do not see this side of them.
Performed on Monday 6th December 12.30pm at Coventry University Performing Arts room 1A9
