I Shall Wear Purple

Art is not what you see but what you make others see’ – Degas

Malinderry Care Home – present day – Olivia suffers from ‘age rage’ and is fighting to leave; Thomas, who runs art therapy classes, is fighting to stay when his funding is cut.

When the two meet, youth and experience collide in a scintillating, hilarious clash of cultures. But will the lessons they learn from each other help them get to where they want to go?

A play about painting the town red (or purple!), growing old disgracefully and the nature of art, one thing you can be sure of in Rosemary Jenkinson’s brand new biting comedy – age is just a number, not an identity.

Presented by c21 Theatre Company in the Baby Grand Studio.
