Details

Ah, Paris! The rooftops, the organ grinder's music, the Frenchman with a penchant for 'English ladies'. The Mill is delighted to welcome Jill Hyem, original writer of TV series Howard's Way, Wish Me Luck, The House of Elliot and co-writer of the well-remembered Tenko, who returns to her theatre roots with this magical story set in the world's most romantic city. Three women 'of a certain age' gravitate to Paris. There's Nancy, a retired headmistress determined to throw off her shackles. Anna, recently widowed - and free - after years of nursing a sick husband. And Raquel, a divorcee in search of eternal youth and a new toy boy. A feel-good play with laughter and tears, the promise of romance, lovely love and not-so-lovely anger, friendship and loyalty, and the advantages of growing old. Perhaps not La Vie en Rose but certainly a night to leave you charmed, amused, thoughtful - and smiling.
