From Norm Foster comes a heartwarming and hilarious story about unexpected friendships and second chances.
Barry reluctantly moves into a seniors’ home where his daughter works, allowing her to keep an eye on him. Just as he begins to adjust to the quiet life, Jonas—a chatty and charming resident still basking in the glory of his one hit song from 37 years ago—enters the picture. Viewing Barry as a “fixer-upper,” Jonas sets out to bring some excitement into his curmudgeonly companion’s life.
Praised as “a roller coaster of emotions, evoking uncontrollable laughter” by The Wellington Advertiser and called “a remarkable piece of writing” by The Chronicle Herald, this delightful play celebrates the humour and humanity in life’s later chapters.
