Ever return home from a comically bad date to a Dead Old Guy under your bed? Same. By comparing the loneliness of a single woman approaching 30 and a widowed elderly man, this tragically comical one-woman show unpacks the all-consuming obsession of trying to find love in the first quarter of life and the driving forces behind making life-altering choices in your late twenties. It explores themes of rejection, romance, reproductive choice, friendship, loneliness, loyalty and heartbreak through one woman and a pair of feet sticking out from under her bed.
