Fresh from a Summerhall run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the multi-award winning Inspector Sands brings its characteristically absurdist exploration of twilight years The Lounge to Contact, Manchester and Soho Theatre.
Inspector Sands explores how difficult it is for all of us—young and old—to engage with the fact that we are individually, and collectively, ageing.
Developed with the support of a Wellcome Trust Arts Award, and with biomedical experts specialising in the psychology and philosophy of attitudes towards ageing and mortality, the company explores what it means to be older in today’s society.
It’s suitable for ages 12+ and runs for 80 minutes.
It’s at Contact April 20 to 21 and at Soho Theatre from April 25 to May 20.
