SO YOUNG
By Douglas Maxwell
AN AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
She's gone. He's moved on. Too young. Too soon.
Summer 2021. Lockdown is over. Just. Three months ago Milo lost his wife to Covid. She was only forty-five. So young. Tonight he has invited his two oldest pals, Davie and Liane, to come round and drink some wine, listen to some tunes and reminisce about the old days. And there's something else… He wants them to meet the new love of his life. Her name is Greta. They met online. And she's twenty years old.
From acclaimed Outhouse Theatre Co (Eureka Day, Ulster American, Consent) comes the Australian premiere of one of Scotland’s most celebrated and performed contemporary playwrights.
Winner of a Fringe First Award and one of the biggest hits of the 2024 Edinburgh Festival, Douglas Maxwell’s So Young is a funny, furious, and painfully honest portrait of modern love, generational clash, and the impossible mess of grieving in public. It’s about who gets to start over, who gets left behind, and what happens when the people you love refuse to behave the way they’re meant to.
7- 22 November at Old Fitz Theatre
