So Young

<p><b>Winner of a Fringe First Award 2024</b><br><b>Shortlisted for the Popcorn Writing Award 2024</b> <p/><i>Look there are two ways to go. Do you freeze in place looking backwards all the time... or do you move on?</i> <p/>Summer 2021. Lockdown is over. Just. <p/>Three months ago Milo lost his wife to Covid. She was only forty five. So young. <p/>Tonight he has invited his two oldest pals Davie and Liane to come round and drink some wine listen to some tunes and reminisce about the olden days. <p/>And there's something else... He wants them to meet the new love of his life. Her name is Greta. They met online. And she's twenty years old. <p/>From the celebrated writer of <i>Decky Does </i><i>a Bronco</i> and <i>I Can Go Anywhere</i> Douglas Maxwell's <i>So Young</i> sees an innocuous evening slide towards ruin as old friends face the challenges of middle age... the pull of the past... and the promise of the future. <p/>This edition was published to coincide with the TravFest24 run at Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre in August 2024.</p>
