Theatre Review: Going Out Out, HOME, Manchester
Old age affects people differently, with some handling it with ease and others struggling. The story of Ian, who became a recluse after caring for his wife until her death, is a poignant example.
Ian's life is marked by isolation, relying on a local charity for shopping and occasional visits from his daughter. However, he finds solace in tending to his garden, a passion his late wife encouraged. It is in this garden, on a hot day, that Ian is discovered by Raz, a 20-something-year-old, while wearing one of his wife's summer dresses.
This first encounter is beautifully written and James Quinn as Ian and Darren Kuppan as Raz play it with great skill. It’s very funny and very touching.
The meeting between Ian and Raz is a difficult yet remarkable moment, with Raz showing no signs of being fazed by Ian's unusual attire.
Author's summary: A heartwarming story of unexpected friendship.
