A Little Older is a memory play exploring the special relationship between a man and a woman. She has been badly injured in a car crash, leaving her helpless and suffering memory loss. He insists that she remembers - because their relationship is too important to forget

In December 93, The Necessary Stage held auditions for a play that required people who had attempted suicide or thought about it. About 50 people turned up - each with a different story to share. Now 6 months later, after intensive discussions & improvisations we present 'Scuse Me While I Kiss The Sky, an evening of sharing, of stories - sometimes startling, painful, sometimes funny...but always honest.

Twelve people come together to rehearse a play. It is their third rehearsal and they are just beginning to get to know one another. The first two rehearsals have been friendly and fun, but today, they are about to get into the 'topic'.

In the course of the rehearsal and the sharing, tension arises as they struggle to come to terms with the different temperaments. By the end of the evening, there is a realisation that all twelve are bound by a common experience - the rediscovery of life.

With no idea how it will all turn out, The Necessary Stage will improvise and present a 45-minute play based on a central theme (yet to be decided). Find out how it all turns out…at the Bukom Theatrette.

This performance comprises a collection of entertaining, short revues.
