"Deft, restraining and moving theatre… a light-of-touch portrait of a relationship through the prism of memory." —Time Out

"A parable that somehow moves and finds light in the deterioration of the mind – through love… this terribly sad play is worthy of a place in your memory." —Independent

The story of Tom and Viv, their love and the life they’ve shared together – from first spark to dying light. But not necessarily in that order.

Tristan Bernays’ Old Fools is a surprising and touching play about a couple, their experience of Alzheimer’s, and their enduring efforts to hold their relationship together through the years.

It premiered at Southwark Playhouse, London, in 2018.
