A newcomer upsets the status quo, unleashing repressed desires and igniting conflict between staff and residents and their adult children. These struggles, and their dreams for their futures, create a bond between four of the Home’s residents – Claire, Alice, Hal and Nelly. They embark on a journey that forces them to wrestle with the power of choice and its consequences, and that challenges stereotypes about age, love, family, friendship … and freedom.
The energy and joy which flows off that stage must be experienced to be believed… It’s unique, it’s good, and it must be selling like hotcakes. – Mike Anderson, Mooney on Theatre
