Older
Tue 19 - Sun 24 May 2026
Old friends face up to their future. Two boys climb out of the sea. And three thousand years ago, Telemachus is waiting.
Across three short plays—telemachy; men of feeling; tights, no pants—OLDER explores love, sacrifice, and the impossible knot of growing up, asking; how do we live with the myths of our childhoods? And how do we reckon with what’s left?
OLDER is the brand new coming-of-age trilogy presented by Mad Jacks Theatre, the award-winning company behind the ‘scorchingly emotional’ (★★★★ Broadway Baby) PHOTOGRAPHS, and ‘the extraordinary commentary on art, love and life’ (★★★★ Adventures in Theatreland) SCENES WITH BOYS.
