Don’t miss “Rejuvenile” – A celebration of life from an older person’s perspective. 16 July, the Maltings Arts Theatre, St Albans. FREE entry.

A group of older people from the local community are currently enjoying discovering their creative talents through drama workshops. Working alongside Hilary Dawson and Sarah Mackay of Buskin, the group are devising an original piece of theatre to be performed in St Albans next month.

The weekly sessions incorporate drama based games, improvisation and bringing to life personal memories and stories. Props and artworks required for the show are being designed and made by group members utilising a range of recycled materials. The workshops have become a high point in the week for participants, providing friendship, fun and creative expression.

The show, REJUVENILE, is a celebration of life from an older person’s perspective, exploring reminiscence, wisdom and the experience of ageing in contemporary society.  By putting older people centre stage, the piece aims to challenge popular stereotypes of what it is to be an elder today.

The performance will take place between 11.30am and 12.15pm on Friday 16 July at the Maltings Arts Theatre, St Albans. Admission is FREE and everyone is welcome.
