What is it?

Vital Signs Productions and Andrew Livingstone Productions present The Golden F**king Years by Adrian McLoughlin at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre in London, from Tuesday 17th to Saturday 28th April.

Helen and Gordon spend their retirement on their Mediterranean balcony, reading and drinking gin, quite a lot of it. Both have moments of dissatisfaction. Is this life changing or merely boredom brought on by age and inactivity?

When a younger woman appears in their lives, their comfortable existence is blown apart in an unexpected fashion. Sex, alcohol and physical mayhem have dangerous repercussions for all. A hilarious new play about getting old, moving abroad and the consequences of spontaneous behaviour. The Golden F**king Years takes a look at how people behave – and how others expect them to behave – as they age.

Vital Signs Productions was formed to challenge the way older people and older actors are frequently under written for and under-represented within the theatre. The Golden F**king Years has been written to address these issues, and they are committed to producing plays that shift society’s perspective in positive and entertaining ways.
