It’s Margot Buchanan’s birthday and she isn’t particularly happy about it! Margot is a witty ex actress in a retirement home with her best friend who is also a retired performer, Freda. Freda says she can communicate with the dead but everyone thinks she’s just a bit batty. Margot’s ex husband, Leo, has got into hot water with the tabloid press and people keep bringing it up when she’d rather forget all about him. On top of all this Margot’s day keeps being interrupted, firstly by an aspiring actress, Sadie, in her first lead role, then by Leo’s second wife, Lady Judy.

Just when she thinks things can’t get any more complicated Leo himself arrives on the run from a pack of journalists. That’s when things take a turn to the supernatural!

A spookily funny and moving performance awaits Tuesday 13 to Friday 16 February, 7.30pm
