World Premiere
Lynn’s sex life more or less expired in 1987 – no memorial service, not even a sympathy card. Now she rattles around the house she inherited from her mum. Jack, a newly widowed and HIV-positive gay man, is hurled back onto the singles scene after 35 years. Armed with grief, cautious optimism, and a baffling array of dating apps, he’s trying to figure out if there’s still room for romance. And then there’s Alec, divorced, estranged from his grown-up kids, and still convinced he’s the same irresistible punk who could pull anyone with a grin back in ’82. Time, however, has other ideas. When all three Londoners stumble into unexpected encounters – yes, with bedroom implications – their lives crack open in ways they never saw coming. A warm, witty, and big hearted comedy drama about romance, second chances, and discovering that it’s never too late to start again.
