Glorious Age

Glorious Age have been working together for over fifteen years, devising and performing work inspired by their own experiences and addressing subjects that are important to them including parenthood and family, loneliness and isolation, and what it’s like to grow older in South London. But it’s not all serious! There’s a lot of joy and humour in the projects too.

“We don’t have a certificate to say we went to a drama school but in this community, here we are recognised. People meet my daughter in the street and they say: ‘I wish I was like your mum and that group she’s in. Your mum is wonderful.”

Glorious Age are not afraid to challenge their audiences, like in their street theatre performance of Bed – or themselves. During the pandemic they continued working together on the phone and over Zoom to create new work, including the film Sister.
