It used to be called ‘Die! Die! Die! Old People Die!’ but they had to change the title after the pandemic. In Scotland, however, they’ve complained about the change of title, and want us to revert to the old one. The show is about an incredibly old couple called Violet and Norman. They’re 120. It takes them a full ten minutes to sit down in a chair. Then another five to get up again and fart. Things speed up occasionally when it’s time for coffee, or when a shady figure called Arthur arrives and stirs confusing memories of a love triangle.
‘Every laugh is like a sharp physical pain in the heart.’
