Information for Ripe at Leeds Playhouse (formerly West Yorkshire Playhouse), Leeds (Play). "She who was once" is an older woman. A symbol of all that is no longer ripe. Ripe is an ageing process that begins rather than ends. Ripe is the stories of what an older body can do and be. Ripe is looking for the light in her eyes. This uplifting and groundbreaking show explores the fragility and strengths inherent in the ageing process with a sense of humour, with a local cast aged 60 to 90 years. Members of The Performance Ensemble describe having to negotiate an attitude to their age that restricts who they are. Join them as they navigate to find a new pathway that can change their perspective on the past and the present. Bramall Rock Void
