The Olivier-nominated, Fringe First-winning show returns to Edinburgh. Inspired by hospices, mystics and trips to the cemetery, Age is a Feeling wrestles with our endless chances to change course while we’re alive. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret. A call to seize our time. Charting the seminal moments, rites of passage and turning points in an adult life – your life – from the day you turn 25 through to your death, this never-the-same-twice show celebrates the glorious and melancholy unknowability of living. ‘As breathtaking as it is moving’ ***** (Guardian). ***** (Telegraph).
