SUMMARY:The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People - Encore Season
DESCRIPTION:BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND AS THE PREVIOUS SEASON WAS SOLD OUT.\n“THE SECRET LIVES OF EXTREMELY OLD PEOPLE”\nENCORE SEASON \nFive fictional nonagenarians share their fascinating stories.  They riff\, they rant\, they rebel\, they remember.  Tragedy hovers and death is drawing close.  So why do they say they are lucky?  Deeper than data about old age\, their stories are startling\, exhilarating and moving. \nPlaywright Rachel McAlpine was shocked to the core when her GP predicted she would live to 99.  Like most people\, she had opinions about very old age but no experience.  She asked local people in their 90s about their lives and found their revelations broke all the stereotypes.  She also walked the footpaths of Wellington\, asking people how they see their life unfolding at 90.  The play\, “The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People” erupted from those conversations.  Overall\, the success of the play depends upon character\, and mercifully\, the script avoids patronising stereotypes. \nWriter Rachel McAlpine said of the previous SCDL production\,  “The director\, cast\, crew\, and production team are to be commended for their courage in mounting what in many ways is a difficult play\, and for putting across the issues with considerable warmth and good humour. They are to be congratulated on the patent success of their undertaking. Well done all!” \nOnly five performances \nWednesday 25th Feb 7.30 pm.\nThursday 26th Feb 7.30 pm.\nFriday 27th Feb 7.30 pm.\nSaturday 28th Feb 2 pm.\nSunday 1st Mar 2 pm. \nBuy tickets online at iTICKET and at the Timaru Information Centre \nTHE PREVIOUS PERFORMANCES WERE QUICKLY SOLD OUT SO BUY TICKETS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
