Really Old, Like Forty Five

Tamsin Oglesby is one of today’s most respected and established young playwrights. She is currently under commission to the National Theatre, The Royal Shakespeare Company and Hampstead Theatre, and has enjoyed well-received, sell-out runs at the Hampstead, Bush and National Theatres. Her latest play is a furious comedy about our embarrassment and fear of old age. It exposes a society in which compassion vies with pragmatism and, by asking unequivocal questions, it comes up with some extraordinary answers.
