In The Lady Garden at Pleasance Theatre

The Lady Gardeners, a theatre company featuring three women over sixty, make their Edinburgh Fringe debut with a poignant exploration of aging and female identity. The play centers on sixty-nine-year-old Alice Parminter, who finds herself in a police cell, reflecting on her life choices and societal constraints shaped by her upbringing. Julia Faulkner delivers a remarkable one-woman performance, taking on the role of Alice and twenty other characters, highlighting the struggle for respect and visibility for older women. This powerful production invites audiences of all ages to reconsider the notion that it’s too late to pursue dreams.
