Love doesn't get easier when you're older but no wiser.

Maggie and John had a passionate but disastrous affair in their younger days, but it didn't last. Now in their late sixties, a surprise encounter gives them another chance to take up where they left off.

Will they manage to find the best in each other and finally get together? Or will old wounds and an awareness of their ageing bodies deter them? Will the treadmill created by the high-cost, high-pressure 21st century, and their endless other commitments and interruptions large and small, overwhelm them? Or will they take the final risk?

This delightful comic drama stars Bill Nighy as John and Anna Calder-Marshall as Maggie.

A.L. Kennedy is an award-winning writer of novels, short stories and non-fiction, an academic and a stand-up comedian.

Directed by Sally Avens.

Silly plot, fun scenes about ageing sex. Little character development but excellent interaction between two excellent actors.
Overall can recommend.

A good first listen

I sat down yesterday morning for a quick coffee break in between a full day of gardening jobs. I started to listen to this. Well i never did get any further work done. Couldn’t turn it off. I thought the story was so true to life and does truthfully reflect the relationships with men and women. The comedy was brilliant. Bill and Anna were superb and full marks whoever chose them to do this play. I smiled and laughed all the way through. Also brilliantly interspersed with 60/70’s music relevant to each scene. I have the follow on recording downloaded. Sorry garden - not today either.

Brilliant in every way
