Old Souls

Time: 5pm
Dates: Aug 14-19, 21-27
Venue: PQA Venues at Riddle’s Court
This show brought to life the essence of Vintage Vibes and LifeCare Edinburgh – matching someone older and lonely with a volunteer. It’s a soft and lovely comedy about a blossoming friendship between Rosie and Vera, which challenges your expectations of what an “old woman” and a “young girl” should be. Bound together by laughter and Irish coffee we loved seeing their relationship grow and them become an essential part of each other’s lives.

Reviews
something quite magnificent…excellent & funny
The Wee Review
Heartwarming…entertaining and upbeat, Old Souls is at its heart an exploration of the universality of friendship and the need to grasp onto experience to lead a fulfilled life. The friendship between Rosie and Vera is heartwarming, with the usual exchange of life lessons; imposter syndrome and the fear that accompanies any life development are dealt with eloquently and cheerfully, and the consideration of the possible loneliness of old age is moving but sympathetic.
