As a teenager struggling to find her voice, Valerie found comfort in the worlds of an old, barely famous country singer. As their correspondence carried on over the years their relationship became ever more entwined within the old, sad songs from his albums. And now, as he faces his coming mortality, a desperate decision leads them each to face themselves, each other and the possibility of redemption for them both.
Written by Stephen Cedars and Directed by Nathan Iles, “The Old, Sad Songs” will test the limits of romance, obsession and pride. A night of theatre that is simply not to be missed.
