Too Long An Autumn

Why we like it
"This play delves into the lingering shadows of autumn, weaving a narrative that evokes nostalgia and contemplation."
From: Fall Season ScriptsSynopsis
Long Autumn, appropriately named, is a retirement home for theatricals in the autumn of their lives, where euphemism reigns supreme, together with a firm belief that elderly equals senile.
Into their midst is flung Maisie May, a former music-hall star, too much of a burden for her strait-laced son and daughter-in-law, who do not find Maisie amusing.
Initially the ever-cheerful, irrepressible Maisie copes with the rigours of Long Autumn in her own inimitable style, but she becomes increasingly depressed.
Then one day a breezy impresario, Chris, arrives with big plans for Maisie...4 women, 3 men
