Not everyone will go for this. The throne isn’t exactly a monarch’s throne. It’s the throne in the bathroom. There are a few noises but mostly just flushing. If you don’t like noises you might not like this and you don’t have to listen. But before you give up on it… why don’t you want to listen?

Time Lapse is the story of four sisters – Lucy, Angela, Minnie and Sophie. They’re very close. But they’re not all still alive. One of them has died.
The others are sad. Of course they are. They miss their sister. But they also don’t want to suffer as she did. They don’t want to die.

They Also Serve is a beautiful, inspiring and important play. It is dedicated to Leslie Gay, one of the founding members of the Southwark Elders Company. It is so wonderful that the Southwark Elders Company have managed to create something so special in his memory. They can be so proud of this play.

As you get older, even when you’re actually quite young to anyone who’s not a twelve year old girl (who will give me the most wonderful eye-roll if she deigns to read this, just wait till you hit forty, young lady), it does sometimes happen that people show you a bit less respect. They act like you’ve lost your marbles when they’re actually all neatly in the box on the shelf. They act like your opinion doesn’t matter so much because you don’t know what you want, anyway. It’s sad and wrong. This incredible play demonstrates in all sorts of ways how wrong it is and how the older generations are actually kind of brilliant.
