Last Legs is a lethally funny black comedy about sex, death and politics with an irresistible appeal to the old and bold of heart. BOOK NOW for 5th to 7th October at the Clarence Street Theatre, Hamilton.

NEWS that Bill English is to open a new wing of the Cambridge Retirement Village sparks a revolution among its residents. New fractures appear along old fault lines, transforming the swanky facility into a hotbed of insurrection, intrigue and infidelity.
