Older

"I think you have to go about separating everything you know, from everything you want. You have to break your rib cage into two halves, like a wishbone. Two baskets to hold it all. The things you know already. And the rest."

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.
