Being Old Rocks!! … Well no, Ageing isn’t much fun. The best you can do is have a laugh about it. So, this one-person show of comical storytelling invites you to laugh along with (or laugh at) Donnie’s tales of Gracelessly Growing Old. Delightful topics include Aged Frailty, Dewlaps, Memory failures (short and long term), Absent-Mindedness, “Senior Moments”—and there’s even some Shakespeare to lend some dignity to the mix. AND to wrap up—Golly! Donnie present his eccentric (and perhaps slightly senile) reflections on His Place, and also Our Place, in our Great Grand Old Cosmos! … The Wine of Well-Aged Wisdom? Don’t know. You will have to decide for yourself. But if You are old, or just getting older, or if You have old persons in your life, this show’s for You! (Trust me.)
