A blistering head wreck, played at a hilarious pace, about two amazing mischievous characters who meet in a nursing home!
It’s not easy to get by in this crazy old world, is it? But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are two tennis rackets, disproportionate reactions to minor accidents, an immature coping strategy and each other.
Fred & Alice is a quirky love story about two amazing mischievous characters who meet in a home, fall in love, play rock concerts, move in together, have trouble adjusting, sort it out, all done in their own hilarious way.
It wasn’t really a ‘’home’’ but Fred always called it a home because that was where he lived, and if you are not living at home then where are you? It was love at first sight for Alice. Fred didn’t talk to her again for years but then eventually Fred got used to her and it was love at first sight for him too.
From their days in care, to independent living, Fred and Alice negotiate the perils and pitfalls of life and love. Together they create a fantastical world which spills over into a madcap reality when they decide to move in together.
Come see this joyous celebration of individuality.
