Notes: UK premiere of an Icelandic musical by Venturport's Gísli Örn Gardarsson and Vikingur Kristjánsson, adapted by David Farr | ||||
Synopsis: Set in an old people's home - a kind of Romeo and Juliet in reverse - Love is a romantic musical with a professional cast and a chorus of local senior citizens singing songs by popular artists. Neville is 80 and slowly wasting away in an unremarkable care home. His life seems to be heading for a predictable end until Margaret arrives for a short stay. Margaret, 78 and terrified of what will happen to her, meets Neville over tea and singing, and their lives change forever. Then Neville suggests they escape for a night out on the town. . . | ||||
