Don’t get old. Get even
Ruth Rock, an ex-filmstar in her 70s, self-isolated in her country house on the fringes of London, is forced to re-evaluate her life when she takes in her ex's new, and much younger, girlfriend during her convalescence.
Award-winning writer-director Jonathon Crewe (CounterFiction) has teamed up with the University of West London to put on Go Gently; an original and contemporary comedy-drama that aims to challenge stereotypes of aging and ageism.
The play comes out of research by the University of West London for the Centre for Ageing Better around the representation of older age in British film. See this report for more details: https://ageing-better.org.uk/sites/default/files/2023-02/cast-aside-full-report.pdf
