‘Nails the seething resentment of today’s elderly’: BENEATH THE BLUE RINSE – Park Theatre ★★★★
Beneath the Blue Rinse, running at London’s Park Theatre – along with a Glover short called The Answer – is a morality tale where the elderly get their own back on a society that would rather forget they existed.
‘A rib-cracking satire’: BENEATH THE BLUE RINSE – Park Theatre
Beneath the Blue Rinse is polemical; packed with scathingly humorous and myth-busting scenes and information about the lives of older people.
‘Hilarious, thoughtful & poignant’: BENEATH THE BLUE RINSE – Park Theatre ★★★★
Tom Glover’s play Beneath The Blue Rinse successfully and hilariously breaks through stereotypes relating to how people see the elderly.
