At Your Age?! is a full-length, three-act play exploring ageing and ageism. The script, written by Dr. Elaine Desmond as part of the AgeACTED (Ageism Challenged Through Ethnodrama) project, was developed in collaboration with Eleanor Bantry White and Cork Cultural Companions.

This performance is the culmination of a series of workshops led by Karen Minihan of PlayActing Theatre with Schull Drama Group and Cultural Companions members, refining the script and bringing it to life. The play has had only one previous outing, at the Granary Theatre in 2022, where one act was performed by the original contributors and Cultural Companions members. This makes the upcoming performance a much-anticipated event.

Supported by Cork County Council Age-Friendly and Arts Office, the play is humorous and moving in equal measure, offering themes and stories that will resonate with many. The main characters are vibrant, witty, and non-conforming, navigating the challenges of ageing, societal expectations, and the resilience required to stay positive.

After the performance, there will be refreshments and a chance to chat, making this a wonderful opportunity to come together, celebrate creativity, and engage with the themes of the play.

Join us for an afternoon of theatre, conversation, and community a free, engaging, and thought-provoking cultural treat not to be missed!
