Description
The story of Tom and Viv, their love and the life they’ve shared together – from first spark to dying light. But not necessarily in that order.
Tristan Bernays’ Old Fools is a surprising and touching play about a couple, their experience of Alzheimer’s, and their enduring efforts to hold their relationship together through the years. It premiered at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2018.
Tristan Bernays’ previous plays include Boudica at Shakespeare’s Globe, Testament at VAULT Festival, his one-man show The Bread & The Beer and Teddy (winner of the Off West End Award for Best New Musical 2016).
‘Holds the stage with confidence… Bernays drives the story forward with great skill’ Guardian on Boudica
