Christmas at Shakespeare North!

Tough Old Bird

Ageing well doesn’t mean behaving yourself...

Tough Old Bird explores how women are viewed in society as they have the absolute gall to get older.

Have you ever noticed those adverts promising to ‘defy the effects of ageing’? Ooooh Nana hates them.

What about when we get old?

Where’s the instruction manual?

Who deems what is ‘acceptable behaviour’?

What happens when your voice isn’t listened to, or you become slowly invisible?

Join Nana as she asks the big questions!

“Nana’s comedic stylings evoke the warm-hearted but deadly-sharp observational style of Victoria Wood.”
– North West End

“The moments of poignant clarity were matched with joyous hilarity”
– Opening Nights
